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.
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.
KEY: Cognitive Level: Application | Integrated Processes: Nursing Process: Evaluation | Client Need:
Psychosocial Integrity
2. A physically and emotionally healthy client has just been fired. During a routine office visit he states to a nurse:

characterize the clients appraisal of the job loss stressor?

B. Harm/loss

D. Challenging
ANS: D
The client perceives the situation of job loss as a challenge and an opportunity for growth.

3. Which client statement should alert a nurse that a client may be responding maladaptively to stress?

Reliance on social isolation as a coping mechanism is a maladaptive method to relieve stress. It can prevent learning
appropriate coping skills and can prevent access to needed support systems.
