Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phase 2, or the resistance phase, is when the body is attempting to adapt to the stressor and cope with the demands placed upon it. During this phase, the body's ability to resist stress is at its highest, as it is mobilizing its resources to maintain function and handle the stress. Phase 1 (alarm reaction) and Phase 3 (exhaustion) are associated with heightened stress and decreased resistance. Phase 4 is not a recognized phase of the GAS.
