Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Take time to understand a patient's meaning of the precipitating event and the ways in which stress is affecting his life. For example, in the case of a woman who has just been told that a breast mass was identified on a routine mammogram, it is important to know what the patient wants (priority needs) and needs most from the nurse. Providing information, allowing time with friends, and finding support may be implemented after finding out what the patient wants or needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Neuman Systems Model uses a systems approach, and it helps you understand your patients' individual responses to stressors and also families' and communities' responses. Every person develops a set of responses to stress that constitute the normal line of defense. This line of defense helps to maintain health and wellness. Ego defense mechanisms are unconscious coping mechanisms. Immunity is a body's natural protection mechanism. Pender's Health Promotion Model focuses on promoting health and managing stress.
