A- I'm tired and hungry. I need to take a break and get something to eat.
B- I asked to be transferred because the nurses on this unit are critical and make me feel inadequate when I work with them.
Explanation:
Both the statements depict self-awareness and consciousness of the nurse manager. The nurse staff is very well aware of her physical and mental needs. She feels that taking care of her diet and eating first while hungry is a self-awareness of her physical needs. Second statement shows that she is self-aware of her potential as a nurse and wants a positive working environment to protect her mental peace. Therefore, she asked for transfer because she feels inadequate professionally due to over-critical nature of fellow nurses in her unit.
The nurse would expect to see her patient provided with a low-sodium diet because excess salt can cause your body to retain fluids which would make the swelling in the patient's abdomen and legs worse.
