indicates that in orderto be diagnosed with a mental illness, daily functioning must be

a positive attribute.
3. A nurse is assessing a set of 15-year-old identical twins who respond very differently
to stress.One twin becomes anxious and irritable, and the other withdraws and cries.
How should the nurse explain these different stress responses to the parents?
1. Reactions to stress are relative rather than absolute; individual responses to stress
vary.
2. It is abnormal for identical twins to react differently to similar stressors.
3. Identical twins should share the same temperament and respond similarly to stress.
4. Environmental influences to stress weigh more heavily than genetic influences.
