Answer to Question 1

Maintaining physiological stability is of highest priority. Withdrawal delirium is often accompanied by loss of fluid and electrolytes through vomiting, diarrhea, and diaphoresis.

Appraisal of a stressor is the processing and comprehension of the stressful situation that takes place on many levels, including cognitive, affective, physiological, behavioral, and social. Ethical responses have little impact on this situation.
