Question 2
A nurse states, I don't understand why the Stuart Stress Adaptation Model uses both the health/illness and adaptation/maladaptation continua.. The best reply is:
a. The more information that's contained within the model, the more realistically it represents life..
b. The model recognizes that nature is ordered as a social hierarchy from simple to complex. The health/illness continuum is a simple concept; the adaptation/maladaptation continuum is more complex..
c. To integrate the theory of four stages of psychiatric treatment, Stuart had to have a health/illness frame of reference. The adaptation/maladaptation continuum was necessary to complement the holistic framework..
d. The health/illness continuum reflects a medical world view, whereas the adaptation/maladaptation continuum is derived from nursing's world view. The two reflect the complementary nature of the nursing and medical models of practice..
