Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports a recent increase in stressors. Which of the following concepts should the nurse use to develop necessary context to both understand and deliver nursing care for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Adaptive vs. maladaptive. When a client reports an increase in stressors, the nurse should assess whether the client's coping mechanisms are adaptive (healthy, effective) or maladaptive (unhealthy, ineffective). Understanding this concept helps the nurse tailor interventions to promote healthy coping strategies and address maladaptive behaviors.
Choices A, C, and D are more focused on moral or ethical judgments, which are not the primary considerations when addressing stress and coping in nursing care.
