stress responses to the parents?

1. rather than absolute; individual
responses to stress
vary.

1. appropriate responses to stress
and need not be
eliminated.
Defense mechanisms are a
2. maladaptive attempt of the ego
to manage anxiety and
should always be eliminated.
Defense mechanisms, used by
3. individuals with weak ego
integrity, should be
discouraged and not eliminated.
Defense mechanisms cause
4. disintegration of the ego and
should be fostered and
encouraged.
6. During an intake assessment, a nurse asks
both physiological and psychosocial questions. The client
angrily responds, “I’m here for my heart, not my head
problems.” Which is the nurse’s best response?
“It is just a routine part of our
1. assessment. All clients are asked
these same
questions.”
“Why are you concerned about
2.
these types of
questions?”
“Psychological factors, like
3. excessive stress, have been found
to affect medical
conditions.”
“We can skip these questions, if
4. you like. It isn’t imperative that
we complete this
section.”
