Rationale: General Adaptation Syndrome, by Hans Selye, describes stress responses: alarm (fight-or-flight), resistance (coping), and exhaustion (depletion). The Health Belief Model addresses behavior via perceived risks, the Transtheoretical Model focuses on change stages, and the Health Promotion Model targets wellness actions. In nursing, recognizing these stages helps manage stress-related conditions, like burnout or chronic illness, adjusting care to support adaptation or recovery during prolonged stressors.
Question 7 of 9
When assessing the noise level that clients are exposed to, the nurse is aware that levels below which of the following number of decibels is usually safe in terms of hearing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Noise levels below 85 decibels are generally safe for hearing, per occupational and health standards. Prolonged exposure above this like 95 or higher risks damage, while 110 or 120 is immediately harmful. Nurses assess this to protect clients, especially in hospitals where equipment or activity might elevate levels. Maintaining a quiet environment below 85 supports healing and prevents auditory stress, a key environmental consideration in care.

Wiedenbach's practical, clinical focus guides purposeful interventions, shaping training and bedside care with its emphasis on intentional, skilled assistance.
