A This is incorrect. Assessment is the first step of the nursing process. The nurse should
assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining susceptibility
to stress-related physical and psychological illness. 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 client’s life and susceptibility
to stress-related illnesses.
B This is incorrect. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The nurse should
assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining the client’s
perception of the current stresses. A 6-month score of 300 or a year-score of 500 or
more on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire indicates high stress in a client’s life
and susceptibility to stress-related physical and
psychological illness.
C This is correct. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The nurse should
assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining susceptibility
to stress- related physical and psychological illness. A 6-month score of 300 or a year-
score of 500 or more indicates high stress in a client’s life and risk for significant
stress-related physical
and psychological illness.
D This is incorrect. Assessment is the first step in the nursing process. The nurse should
assess the client’s coping skills and available support before determining
susceptibility to stress-related illness. A 6-month score of 300 or a year-score of 500
or more on the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire indicates high stress in a client’s
life is susceptible to significant stress-related physical and
psychological illness.
