Question 2 of 5
When a nurse asks a newly admitted patient to describe social supports, the patient says, My parents died last year and I have no family. I am newly divorced, and my former in-laws blame me. I dont have many friends because most people my age just want to go out drinking. Which action will the nurse apply?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: High-quality social support enhances mental and physical health and acts as a significant buffer against distress. Low-quality support relationships affect a persons coping negatively. Resuming dating soon after a divorce could place additional stress on the patient rather than helping her cope with existing stressors. Developing relationships on the Internet probably would not substitute fully for direct contact with other humans and could expose her to predators misrepresenting themselves to take advantage of vulnerable persons.
Question 3 of 5
Which scenario best demonstrates an example of eustress? An individual:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eustress refers to positive stress that motivates and enhances well-being. Preparing for a vacation with friends is a positive, exciting event that exemplifies eustress. Losing a pet and receiving a notice of insufficient funds are examples of distress, not eustress. The original text did not provide a rationale, so this is an added explanation based on the definition of eustress.

Question 5 of 5
A group begins the working phase. One member has a childhood history of neglect and ridicule by parents. Which comment would the group leader expect from this member?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: People who frequently complain, yet reject help or suggestions when offered, tend to have histories of severe deprivation as children, often accompanied by neglect or abuse. The other comments reflect dynamics other than the help-rejecting complainer, such as the monopolizer who apologizes for talking too much, the person who is insightful and agrees to try a peers suggestion, and the demoralizing member.
