D
Adaptive potential is the capacity of a person to respond to stressors to maintain equilibrium, arousal, and impoverishment. Equilibrium is a nonstress state, which will be adaptive or maladaptive. In adaptive equilibrium, all of the client's subsystems are in harmony. In maladaptive equilibrium, one or more of the client's subsystems are placed in jeopardy to maintain equilibrium. Arousal is a stress state in which the individual has difficulty mobilizing resources. Impoverishment is a stress state in which the individual's resources are diminished or depleted.
