Psychosocial IntegrityQuestion 715 of 2368
A nursing student looks at a very busy weekly schedule and uses the time limits to stay motivated and efficient, feeling satisfied as tasks are finished. Which term best describes this stress?
- Compassion fatigue
- Normal stress (eustress)
- Harmful stress (distress)
- Burnout
Show answer
Correct answer: Normal stress (eustress)
Normal stress that is managed well increases focus and motivation. Harmful stress would leave the student overwhelmed and reluctant to act.
