Multiple Choice

1. A client has experienced the death of a close family member and at the same time
becomes unemployed. This situation has resulted in a 6-month score of 110 on the Recent
Life Changes Questionnaire. How should the nurse evaluate this client data?

A. The client is experiencing severe distress and is at risk for physical and psychological illness.

B. A score of 110 on the Miller and Rahe Recent Life Changes Questionnaire indicates no
significant threat of stress-related illness.

C. Susceptibility to stress-related physical or psychological illness cannot be estimated
without knowledge of coping resources and available supports.

D. The client may view these losses as challenges and perceive them as opportunities.

ANS: C

The Recent Life Changes Questionnaire is an expanded version of the Schedule of Recent Experiences
and the Rahe-Holmes Social Readjustment Rating Scale. A 6-month score of 300 or more, or a year-
score total of 500 or more, indicates high stress in a clients life. However, positive coping mechanisms
and strong social support can limit susceptibility to stress-related illnesses.
