NSG 3130 Exam 3 Questions with Correct
Answers
Stress
Autonomic emotional or physiologic response to internal/external challenge- beyond persons
ability to respond
physiologic stress
-Stress-induced changes in body functions
-Detected by body's normal regulatory sensors
-The body alters function to restore normal balance
-When normal balance is restored, negative feedback stops the reaction
Psychological Stress
the emotional and cognitive factors involved in the appraisal of threat
sociocultural stress
the stress when social systems are challenged by factors such as racism, economic hardship,
or political upheaval
Roy's Adaptation Model
The model of health that conceptualizes health as the patient's ability to adapt, compensate,
manage, and adjust to physiological-physical health-related setbacks.
fight or flight response
Physiological reaction to perceived threats by activation of the autonomic system:
^HR, ^BP, ^RR, pupils dilate, GI motility slows, blood flow to skin slows
Link between health & stress
, Can trigger IBD, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain
Sympathetic stimulation
Increases heart rate and contractility.
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
Selye's concept of the body's adaptive response to stress in three phases—alarm, resistance,
exhaustion.
distress
Negative stress- beyond persons ability to cope
Eustress
positive stress, motivational, associated with effective coping & adaptation
3 stages of GAS (general adaptation syndrome)
1. Alarm: hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal & ANS activated triggering responses in CNS,
endocrine, immune systems
2. Resistance: body attempts to adapt, initial response is lessened as PNS reverses SNS
stimulation & stabilization occurs, body begins to repair damage & restore resources
3. Exhaustion: if stress not resolved or resources inadequate to meet demands, physical
function can't be maintained & death possible
Stress that is chronic, prolonged, unrelieved can cause
Disease
Rationalization
Explaining personal actions in a way that enhances one's own self-image
