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: During the alarm reaction stage of general adaptation syndrome, the body responds to stress by activating the fight-or-flight response. Dilated pupils occur as part of this response to enhance visual acuity and peripheral vision, preparing the individual for potential threats. This physiological change helps the person to be more aware and ready to react quickly in a stressful situation.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because physical exhaustion, bradycardia (slow heart rate), and depression are manifestations that are not typically associated with the alarm reaction stage. Physical exhaustion may occur in the exhaustion stage, bradycardia is not a typical response to stress, and depression is a psychological response that may occur in the resistance or exhaustion stages.
