QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE PRACTICE
SOLUTIONS
●● physiologic stress
Answer: -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
Answer: the emotional and cognitive factors involved in the appraisal of
threat
●● sociocultural stress
Answer: the stress when social systems are challenged by factors such as
racism, economic hardship, or political upheaval
●● Roy's Adaptation Model
Answer: 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
Answer: 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
Answer: Can trigger IBD, autoimmune disease, cardiovascular disease,
chronic pain
●● Sympathetic stimulation
Answer: Increases heart rate and contractility.
●● General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
Answer: Selye's concept of the body's adaptive response to stress in
three phases—alarm, resistance, exhaustion.
●● distress
Answer: Negative stress- beyond persons ability to cope
●● Eustress
Answer: positive stress, motivational, associated with effective coping &
adaptation
, ●● 3 stages of GAS (general adaptation syndrome)
Answer: 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
Answer: Disease
●● Rationalization
Answer: Explaining personal actions in a way that enhances one's own
self-image
●● Denial
Answer: Ignoring aspects of reality that induce anxiety or contribute to a
loss of self-esteem
●● compensation
Answer: focusing on strengths rather than perceived weaknesses
