D) Helplessness
A
Feedback:
Excessive, ill-timed, or unrelieved stress is called distress. It triggers the general adaptation syndrome, a nonspecific physiologic response. Eustress means the right amount of stress and maintains a healthy balance in life. It cannot trigger a general adaptation syndrome. The placebo effect refers to healing or improvement that takes place because the person believes a treatment method will be more effective. Helplessness is a psychological factor that makes a client with stress disease prone. It is not a condition that triggers the general adaptation syndrome.
