Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Hans Seyle described this process as general adaptation syndrome (GAS), which he defined as consisting of three stages: the alarm reaction (a threat is perceived and the body responds physiologically), stage of resistance (coping mechanisms are used to try to reestablish homeostasis), and stage of exhaustion (occurs if homeostasis is not achieved).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Using therapeutic communication techniques, a person's emotional state is assessed in a nurseclient interview. By beginning the interview with a statement such as, Let's talk about what you have been feeling, the nurse can elicit the feelings that the person has been experiencing. Identifying the person's emotions can be helpful in assessing the intensity of the stress being experienced. Asking about depressed moods or feeling overwhelmed does not allow the client to verbalize her feelings. Asking how long the client has been caring for her aunt provides no information about what the client is feeling.
