y and daily routine have not changed. How should the nurse interpret the clients
y y y y y y y y y y y y




y behaviors?

y y y y y y y y y y

y y y y y y y y y y y

y The clientwho experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding

y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




developing a mentalillness?
y y y

y y y y y y y y y y y

, 2. When maladaptive responses to stress are coupled with interference in
y y y y y y y y y




daily functioning.
y y




3. When a client communicates significant distress.
y y y y y

y y y y y y y y




ANS: 2 y




Rationale: The nurse should determine that the client is at risk for mental illness
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




y when responsesto stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The
y y y y y y y y y y




y DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily
y y y y y y y y y y y




y functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability to communicate
y y y y y y y y y




y distress would be considered a positive attribute.

Assessment

3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




differently to stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other
y y y y y y y y y y y




y withdraws and cries. How should the nurse explain these different stress responses
y y y y y y y y y y y




y to the parents?
y y




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to
y y y y y y y y y y




y stress vary. y




2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
y y y y y y y y y y y




3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
y y y y y y y y y y y




4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences. y y y y y y y y y
