Choice A is incorrect as accepting gifts from a patient may be a violation of ethical standards, but it is not a conflict of interest.

Rationale: Recognizing burnout is essential to maintaining quality patient care. Spending more time talking to staff on other units is a common practice and does not necessarily indicate burnout.

These behaviors can impact patient care and indicate the professional is struggling to cope with stressors.
