About This Quiz

NCM 102 Online Pretest #1 evaluates understanding of stress, its subjectivity, and physiological responses. It dispels myths about stress elimination and crisis management, enhancing knowledge crucial for personal and professional growth.

2.

Individuals have the same stress response however, stress is still subjective.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false because individuals do not have the same stress response. While there may be some general physiological responses to stress that are common among people, the way individuals perceive and experience stress can vary greatly. Stress is subjective and can be influenced by factors such as personal beliefs, coping mechanisms, and past experiences. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that individuals have the same stress response.

3.

The determining factor to whether stress is good or bad is the kind of stressor an individual is faced with.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The explanation for the answer being False is that stress itself is not inherently good or bad. It is the individual's perception and response to the stressor that determines whether it is beneficial or harmful. Some individuals may thrive under pressure and view stress as a motivating factor, while others may become overwhelmed and experience negative effects. Therefore, it is not the kind of stressor that determines whether stress is good or bad, but rather the individual's reaction to it.

4.

The stress response is mediated by anterior and posterior pituitary gland.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The stress response is not mediated by the anterior and posterior pituitary gland. The stress response is primarily regulated by the hypothalamus and the adrenal glands. When the body perceives a stressor, the hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which stimulates the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary gland. ACTH then signals the adrenal glands to release stress hormones such as cortisol. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Rate this question:
5.

For a better life all forms of stress must be eliminated.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Eliminating all forms of stress is not possible or realistic. Stress is a natural part of life and can actually be beneficial in certain situations. Some level of stress can motivate individuals to perform better and achieve their goals. It is more important to manage and cope with stress effectively rather than trying to eliminate it completely. Therefore, the statement that all forms of stress must be eliminated for a better life is false.

Rate this question:
6.

Crisis is the abrupt resolution of fever, and is the most preferable way fever abatement process.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is incorrect. A crisis is not the resolution of fever, but rather a sudden and intense worsening of a condition or situation. It is not a preferable way to abate fever. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rate this question:
7.

Prior to administration of Paracetamol given via IV, there is a need for the nurse to perform skin testing to determine hypersensitivity.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Prior to administration of Paracetamol given via IV, it is necessary for the nurse to perform skin testing to determine hypersensitivity. This is because Paracetamol can cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals, and skin testing helps to identify those who may be hypersensitive to the medication. By conducting a skin test, the nurse can assess for any allergic reactions or hypersensitivity before administering Paracetamol, ensuring the safety of the patient.

Rate this question:
8.

During stress response, anuria happens due to the activation of RAA mechanisms.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

During the stress response, the activation of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone (RAA) mechanisms can lead to anuria. Anuria refers to the condition where there is a significantly decreased or complete absence of urine production. The RAA mechanisms play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. During stress, the release of stress hormones can lead to the activation of the RAA system, causing vasoconstriction and a decrease in renal blood flow, which can ultimately result in anuria.

Rate this question:
9.

Ulcers develop due to chronic stress is due to the oversecretion of HCl during stress response.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement that ulcers develop due to chronic stress is false. While stress can exacerbate the symptoms of ulcers, the primary cause of ulcers is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ulcers occur when there is an imbalance between the protective factors of the stomach lining and the damaging factors such as HCl. Stress can increase the production of stomach acid (HCl), but it is not the direct cause of ulcers.

It further states that this is particularly noticeable at the age of 7. Therefore, the correct answer is True, indicating that the statement is accurate.
