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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dilated pupils. During the alarm reaction stage of the general adaptation syndrome, the body goes into a fight-or-flight response triggered by stress. This response includes the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which leads to the dilation of pupils to enhance visual perception and awareness, preparing the body to respond to the stressor. Bradycardia (
A) is not characteristic of the alarm reaction stage as heart rate typically increases. Depression (
B) is a psychological response and not a physiological response seen in the alarm reaction stage. Physical exhaustion (
D) typically occurs in the exhaustion stage, not the alarm reaction stage.
