|
explain homeostasis
|
stable state of physiologic equilibrium. staying the same
|
|
|
list 4 categories of stressors that affect homeostasis
|
physiologic
psychological social spiritual |
|
|
identify 2 beliefs about the body and mind based on the concept of holism
|
both the mind and body directly influence humans
the relationship between the mind and body can potentially sustain health as well as cause illness |
|
|
identify the purpose of adaption and two possible, outcomes of unsuccessful adaptation
|
adaptation: requires the use of self protective properties and mechanisms for regulating homeostasis
|
|
|
feedback loop
|
mechanism for controlling hormone production. can be netagive or possitive. most hormones are secreted in response to negative feedback
|
|
|
trace the structures through which adaptive charges take place
|
neurotransmitters
central nervous system autonomic nervous system endocrine |
|
|
differentiate between sympathetic and parasympathetic adaptive syndrome
|
sympathetic: prepares the body for fight or flight
parasympathetic: restores equilibrium after danger is gone |
|
|
define stress
|
physiologic and behavioral responses to disequilibrium
|
|
|
list 10 factors that affect the stress response
|
- intensity of the stressor
- number of stressors - duration of the stressor - physical health status - life experiences - coping strategies - social support, personal beliefs, attitudes, and values. |
|
|
discuss the 3 stages and consequences of the general adaption syndrome
|
alarm stage: immediate onset of stress, storage vesicles within sympathetic nervous system neurons rapidly release norepinephrine. prepare for fight or flight.
stage of resistance: restoring to normal exhaustion: one or more adaptive or resistive mechanisms can no longer protect the person |
|
|
name 3 levels of prevention that apply to the reduction or management of stress related disorder
|
repression: forgetting about the stressor
suppression: purposely avoiding thinking about the stressor denial: rejecting information rationalization: relieving your involvement/responsibility displacement: taking anger out on someone else |
|
|
list eight nursing activities helpful to the care of clients prone to stress
|
ID the stressors
assess the cleints response to stress eliminate or reduce the stressors prevent additional stressors promote physiologic adaptive responses support physiologic coping strategies assist maintaining social support implement stress reduction and stress management |
|
|
list four approaches to preventing, reducing, or eliminating a stress response
|
- modeling: promotes ability to learn an adaptive response by exposing a person to someone possitive
- progressive relaxation: eases tense muscles by clearing the mind of stressful thoughts - imagery: uses the mind to visualize calming, pleasurable, positive experiences - biofeedback: alters autonomic nervous system functions by responding to electonically displayed physiologic data - yoga: relieves stress with stretching. focus. - mediation/prayer: placing trust in a higher power - placebo effect: alters a negative physiologic response through the power of suggestion |
|
|
general adaptation syndrome
|
collective physiologic process that occur in response to a stressor
|
