Which term best describes a person who maintains work but changes job function or role within the field?

• A. Career shifters
• B. Career continuers
• C. Pollyanna principle
• D. Resuscitation

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is staying in the same general field while taking on a different function or role. This is best described as career continuers. It describes someone who remains employed but shifts responsibilities within the field—for example, moving from bedside care to education, administration, or program development—so they maintain their career while changing how they contribute. This contrasts with changing to a completely different field (career shifters) or unrelated concepts like a cognitive bias (Pollyanna principle) or something irrelevant (resuscitation). This term fits because it captures the nuance of ongoing work with a modified job function within the same professional domain.
