Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The stage of exhaustion is the last phase in the GAS. It occurs when one or more adaptive or resistive mechanisms are no longer able to protect the person experiencing a stressor. Consequently, the person is vulnerable to illness. This stage of the GAS is not associated with the adoption of normal life roles or increased stamina. Hormone levels are abnormal in the exhaustion stage.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should assist the comatose client in performing passive exercise in order to maintain muscle tone and flexibility. Passive exercise is a therapeutic activity that the client performs with assistance and is provided when a client cannot move one or more parts of the body. An isotonic exercise is an activity that involves movement and work. Isometric exercise consists of stationary exercises generally performed against a resistive force. Active exercise is therapeutic activity that the client performs independently after proper instruction.
