Feedback
A This is incorrect. Assessment is the first step of the nursing process. The nurse
should assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining
susceptibility to stress-related physical and psychological illness. The Recent Life Changes
Questionnaire is an expanded version of the Schedule of Recent Experiences and the Rahe-
Holmes Social Readjustment Rating Scale. A 6-month score of 300 or more, or a year-
score total of 500 or more, indicates high stress in a client’s life and susceptibility to
stress-related illnesses.
B This is incorrect. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The nurse
should assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining the
client’s perception of the current stresses. A 6-month score of 300 or a year-score of 500
or more on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire indicates high stress in a client’s life
and susceptibility to stress-related physical and psychological illness.
C This is correct. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The nurse
should assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining
susceptibility to stress- related physical and psychological illness. A 6-month score of 300
or a year-score of 500 or more indicates high stress in a client’s life and risk for significant
stress-related physical and psychological illness.
