An emergency room nurse has been feeling increasingly fatigued and emotionally detached from patients and coworkers. Despite taking brief vacations, the nurse notices no improvement in these feelings. What is the most appropriate next step for the nurse to take to address these symptoms?
Discuss feelings with family and friends for support
Seek professional help such as counseling or therapy
Increase the number of shifts to remain constantly busy
Request immediate reassignment to a less demanding department
Seeking professional help, such as counseling or therapy, is the most appropriate step for addressing symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout. Counseling can provide strategies to manage stress, improve emotional resilience, and prevent further psychological distress. The other options might provide temporary relief but do not address the underlying issues.
