f f f f f f f f f
feelings of sadness because of the recent death of a beloved pet. The client’s appetite,

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who
f f f f f f f f f f
respond very differently to stress. One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the
f f f f f f f f f f f f
other withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress
f f f f f f f f f f f f
responses to the parents?
f f f f
1.
Reactions to stress are relative rather f f f f f
than absolute; individual responses to
f f f f f
stress vary.
f f
2.
It is abnormal for identical twins to react
f f f f f f f
differently to similar stressors.
f f f f
3.
Identical twins should share the same f f f f f
temperament and respond similarly to
f f f f f
stress.
f
4.
Environmental influences to stress f f f
weigh more heavily than genetic
f f f f f
influences.

f f f f f f f f f
mechanisms should be eliminated.” Which is a correct evaluation of this nurse’s statement?
f f f f f f f f f f f f
1.
Defense mechanisms can be f f f
appropriate responses to stress and
f f f f f
need not be eliminated.
f f f f
, 2. Defense mechanisms are a maladaptive

attempt of the ego to manage anxiety and
f f f f f f f f
should always be eliminated.
f f f f
3.
Defense mechanisms, used
f by f f
individuals with weak ego integrity,
f f f f f
should be discouraged and not
f f f f f
eliminated.
