According to Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), which stage occurs first?
A. Alarm stage
B. Resistance stage
C. Exhaustion stage

, 2
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The stages of Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome are: Alarm (fight-or-flight response),
Resistance (adaptation to stress), and Exhaustion (depletion of resources). [100% CORRECT]
Q2: General Adaptation Syndrome – Resistance Stage
A client has been dealing with a stressful job for several months. The client reports feeling fatigued
but continues to function. This is most consistent with which stage of GAS?
A. Alarm stage
B. Resistance stage
C. Exhaustion stage
D. Recovery stage
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Resistance stage is characterized by adaptation to the stressor, where the body
attempts to cope with the stress. Prolonged stress can lead to the Exhaustion stage. [100%
CORRECT]
Q3: Fight-or-Flight Response – Physiological Changes
The fight-or-flight response is mediated by which nervous system?
A. Sympathetic nervous system
B. Parasympathetic nervous system
C. Central nervous system
D. Somatic nervous system
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The fight-or-flight response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, which
releases catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine) to prepare the body for action. [100%
CORRECT]
Q4: Fight-or-Flight Response – Effects
During the fight-or-flight response, which physiological change occurs?
A. Pupil constriction
B. Increased heart rate and bronchodilation
C. Decreased blood pressure
D. Decreased blood glucose
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The fight-or-flight response causes increased heart rate, bronchodilation, increased blood
pressure, pupil dilation, and increased blood glucose. Pupil constriction and decreased blood
pressure are parasympathetic effects. [100% CORRECT]
