A nurse states,"I don't understand why the Stuart Stress Adaptation Model uses both the health/illness and adaptation/maladaptation continua." The best reply is:
A) "The more information that's contained within the model, the more realistically it represents life."
B) "The model recognizes that nature is ordered as a social hierarchy from simple to complex. The health/illness continuum is a simple concept; the adaptation/maladaptation continuum is more complex."
C) "To integrate the theory of four stages of psychiatric treatment, Stuart had to have a health/illness frame of reference. The adaptation/maladaptation continuum was necessary to complement the holistic framework."
D) "The health/illness continuum reflects a medical world view, whereas the adaptation/maladaptation continuum is derived from nursing's world view. The two reflect the complementary nature of the nursing and medical models of practice."
