Physiological Adaptation in Professional Nursing Practice
Q1. The priority concept of opportunity based on the performance analysis is
the physiological adaptation in professional nursing practice.
Q2. The identified concept aligns with the NCLEX-RN Test Plan definition
of physiological adaptation in the following ways: Physiological adaptation is a
process by which the body responds to changes in the environment to maintain
homeostasis. The body responds to changes in the environment by making
adjustments in the way it functions. These adjustments allow the body to maintain
a state of equilibrium or balance (Hall & Hall, 2020, p. 13). Secondly,
physiological adaptation is a dynamic process that occurs over time and is
influenced by internal and external factors. The internal factors influencing
physiological adaptation include the body’s response to stress, the individual’s
genetic makeup, and the individual’s current state of health. The external factors
influencing physiological adaptation include the climate, the availability of
resources, and the individual’s lifestyle choices.
Physiological adaptation is a complex process involving multiple systems
working together to maintain homeostasis. The systems involved in physiological
adaptation include the nervous system, the endocrine system, the cardiovascular
system, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system, and the

reproductive system. In addition, physiological adaptation occurs at different rates
and degrees in different individuals. The rate at which physiological adaptation
occurs is influenced by the individual’s age, gender, and fitness level. The degree
to which physiological adaptation occurs is influenced by the individual’s genetic
makeup, the severity of the stressor, and the individual’s current state of health
(Chen et al., 2020, p.4163). Lastly, physiological adaptation is a lifelong process
that begins at birth and continues throughout the lifespan. The ability to adapt to
environmental changes declines with age, which is why older adults are more
susceptible to disease and death.
Q3. The two learning strategies that will support the development of the
concept of physiological adaptation are a lecture/textbook on the concept of
physiological adaptation and how it applies to professional nursing practice and a
case study/ATI on a specific example of how physiological adaptation has
occurred in a professionaSelection of our books indexed in the Book Citation Index

Abstract
Stress is a physiological response that impacts the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and
social components. It also involves the adaptation of the organism, the coping resources,
and the environment. In young people, stress can be triggered by social interactions or
school requirements. This chapter is a narrative review analyzing scientific bibliography
from the main databases (NIH, Scielo, Redalyc) that explored the main stressors and their
effects on nursing students. These stressors include the care of patients, assignments and
workloads, academic evaluations, and negative or hostile social interactions. Data include
the deleterious effects of stress in nursing students as anxiety, depression, inhibiting
learning, and burnout, which negatively impact their academic development and health.
Finally, some interventions to reduce the impact of stress are discussed. Conclusion:
Stress responses in nursing students vary in duration and intensity during their academic
training; final effects depend on the coping mechanisms, individual resources, and hos-
pital environment. The effects of stress on nursing students impact on academic perfor-
mance but could also trigger several psychiatric disorders as depression or anxiety, as
well as other associated problems such as sleep disorders, alcohol, and psychoactive drug
consumption, which in the short and long term may affect the patient care.

Abstract
Aims and objectives: To evaluate the mental health status, stressors and self-adjust-
ment of nurses in isolation wards at different periods in Wuhan, China.
Background: Mental health issues easily occurred among the frontline medical work-
ers of a major epidemic. However, the stressors and psychological adjustments expe-
rienced by nurses have not been well described. This is crucial to improving clinical
quality and nursing safety and ensuring nurses’ physical and psychological health.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional prospective study using the Self Reporting
Questionnaire-20, stressor and self-adjustment questionnaire administered to front-
line nurses in Wuhan at two time points: after they had worked in isolation wards for
7–10 days (T1) and 2 months (T2). This paper complies with the STROBE reporting
guideline for cross-sectional studies.
Results: T1 has 92 respondents, and T2 has 86. The positive rates of mental health
problems were 26.09% and 9.30%, respectively, showing significantly different in the
two periods. The main factors influenced mental health were self-perceived stress
and only child status. The most common stressors were as follows: a large infected
population, high infectivity; concerned about family’s health status; high mortality if
not treated in time (T1); and long duration of the epidemic, separate from family for a
long time (T2). In terms of self-adjustment, 97.83%(T1)/88.04%(T2) of nurses thought
it was necessary, but 9(T1) /5(T2) chose to avoid addressing it, and 8(T1) /5(T2) utilised
a professional psychological counselling hotline.
Conclusions: Mental health problems among frontline nurses fighting COVID-19 need
special attention, so administrators should offer timely counselling and strengthen
effective psychosocial support to improve their mental resilience.
Relevance to clinical practice: This study surveyed the mental problems and self-
adjustment status amon
