Answer to Question 1

D
Inactive coping strategies focus on avoiding the stress because the nurse in this scenario is choosing to avoid caring for the client when returning to work. Active coping strategies work toward the stress. Active cognitive appraisal and inactive cognitive appraisal are distracters. Cognitive appraisal is the individual's assessment of the stressor.
