Which analogy best reflects an action that a nurse who prioritizes self-care in daily life and nursing practice would take?
A) At a dinner party: Criticizing the food and monopolizing the conversation
B) At a buffet: Passing up the salad bar and heading straight for the desserts
C) On an airplane: Putting on an oxygen mask before helping another person with theirs
D) On a bus: Taking a handicapped seat at the front of the bus and watching others move to the rear
C
Feedback:
Self-nurturing is not selfish. When nurses have strong, grounded connections to themselves, they are better able to form meaningful connections with patients. The nurse who puts on the oxygen mask first before helping another person is exemplifying self-care. The other choices are selfish, harmful, or critical of others.
