Multiple Choice

1. A client has experienced the death of a close family member and at the same time

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

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.
