A nurse is educating a client who asks, "Why don't I get sick every time my body's cells are stressed?" How will the nurse respond?
A) "When cells are exposed to stressors, they focus exclusively on specialized functions."
B) "The body's cells are not at risk for injury under stressors alone."
C) "To avoid injury, cells generally adapt to stressors by expending more resources."
D) "Changes can occur in the body's cells that favor cellular survival."
D) "Changes can occur in the body's cells that favor cellular survival."
Explanation: A) When the body's cells are exposed to stressors, they can undergo changes that favor cellular survival. Cells under stress generally focus exclusively on functions related to survival and cease to perform differentiated functions. Stressors, even on their own, can lead to cell injury. To avoid injury, cells generally conserve resources.
