Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who has been experiencing prolonged stress. For which most serious complication should the nurse monitor the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Impaired immunity. Prolonged stress can negatively impact the immune system, making the individual more susceptible to infections and illnesses. Stress hormones can suppress immune function, impairing the body's ability to fight off pathogens. Monitoring for impaired immunity is crucial as it can lead to serious health complications. Increased muscle tension (
A) and altered sleep patterns (
B) are common symptoms of stress but not as serious as impaired immunity in terms of potential health consequences. Increased peristalsis (
C) refers to increased bowel movements and is not typically a serious complication of prolonged stress.
