Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Identifying the cause of a negative perception is the first step in restructuring how a patient perceives a stressor, also called cognitive restructuring. Accessing a community support group is an example of accessing resources to enhance coping. Identifying relaxation methods is an example of developing an action plan. Reviewing an educational pamphlet is an example of using education to enhance coping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Stress prevention management involves counseling, education, and implementation of techniques to manage problem-oriented and emotion-oriented stress. To prevent physical symptoms, relaxation and deep breathing are effective and individuals can learn to prevent the stress response through cognitive behavioral strategies. Medications are not indicated for patients with known stressors unless the stress is prolonged or the patient has ineffective coping mechanisms.
