Chapter 01. The Concept of Stress Adaptation
Multiple Choice
1. A client has experienced the death of a close family member and at the same time becomes
unemployed. This situation has resulted in a 6-month score of 110 on the Recent Life Changes
Questionnaire. How should the nurse evaluate this client data?
A. The client is experiencing severe distress and is at risk for physical and psychological illness.
B. A score of 110 on the Miller and Rahe Recent Life Changes Questionnaire indicates no
significant threat of stress-related illness.
Primedocs
C. Susceptibility to stress-related physical or psychological illness cannot be estimated without
knowledge of coping resources and available supports.
D. The client may view these losses as challenges and perceive them as opportunities.
ANS: C
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 clients life. However,
positive coping mechanisms and strong social support can limit susceptibility to stress-related
illnesses.
