Answer to Question 1

A
Treating the client as an individual rather than an as an object (i.e., avoiding client depersonalization) is essential in reducing client stress and anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

A
Stress can be a contributing cause of illness (e.g., a person's adaptive efforts are thwarted) or an effect of illness (e.g., a person's adaptive resources are diminished and less able to cope with stressors). Stress has been identified as a significant component in the onset and progression of such varied conditions as asthma and chronic bronchitis, thyroid problems, gastritis, and eczema. Extended periods of stress impair the body's immune system by increasing steroid production, reducing the body's ability to protect itself from disease. Stress affects metabolism and protein synthesis and can result in inadequate wound healing following surgery.
