Question 1 of 5
A nurse is discussing the stages of general adaptation syndrome with a newly licensed nurse. The nurse should identify that which of the following manifestations occurs during the alarm reaction stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dilated pupils. During the alarm reaction stage of general adaptation syndrome, the body undergoes the fight-or-flight response, where the sympathetic nervous system is activated. This leads to physiological changes such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and heightened awareness to prepare the body to respond to stress.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as physical exhaustion, bradycardia, and depression are more commonly associated with the exhaustion stage of general adaptation syndrome, not the alarm reaction stage.
