b b b b b b b b b b

experiences feelings of sadness after the loss of a pet is responding within normal expectations.

stress are maladaptive and interfere with daily functioning. The DSM-5 indicates that in orderto be
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be significantly impaired. The clients ability
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




to communicate distress would be considered a positive attribute.

these different stress responses to the parents?
b b b b b b b




1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stressvary.
b b b b b b b b b b b b




2. It isabnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
b b b b b b b b b b b




3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarlyto stress.
b b b b b b b b b b b




4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavilythan genetic influences. b b b b b b b b b

, ANSWER: 1 b




Rationale: The nurse should explain to the parents that, although the twins have identical DNA,there
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




are several other factors that affect reactions to stress. Mental health is a state of being thatis relative to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




the individual client. Environmental influences and temperament can affect stress reactions.

andshouldalways be eliminated.
b b b b

eliminated.

4. Defense mechanisms cause disintegration of the ego and should be fostered and encouraged.
b b b b b b b b b b b b




ANSWER: 1 b




Rationale: The nurse should determine that defense mechanisms can be appropriate during timesof

stress. The client with no defense mechanisms may have a lower tolerance for stress, thus leading to
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




anxiety disorders. Defense mechanisms should be confronted when they impede the client from

developing healthy coping skills.
