Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the resident had little or no input into the decision to be transferred, he or she may experience more stress related to the move. Therefore, assessing the resident's options and input into the relocation is the most appropriate way to determine if the individual is under stress from the transfer. The other options may provide valuable information, but they are not as relevant to determining stress levels.
