Select all that apply.
1. Healthy Day Measures.
2. Multidimensional Health Profile.
3. Emotional Readiness Assessment Profile.
4. Holmes Social Readjustment Scale.
5. Duke Social Support and Stress Scale.
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
The Healthy Day Measures is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The scale is used to measure the quality of life. The Multidimensional Health Profile is a tool used to assess psychosocial problems. The tool specifically targets stress, coping, social supports, and mental health. The Holmes Social Readjustment Scale is used to measure the stressors in a client's life. The Duke Social Support and Stress scale is an instrument to measure family and nonfamily support and stress. The Emotional Readiness Scale is not a true test, and therefore not a valid test to assess psychosocial variables in a client.
