A client with a poorly regulated corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) will most likely have difficulties:
1. Relating to others.
2. Coping with stress.
3. Balancing life issues.
4. Interpreting the environment.
2
Rationale: Instability in the way CRF performs its function makes it more difficult for adults to cope with stress. CRF is a major regulator of the endocrine, autonomic, immune, and behavioral stress responses. CRF is not associated with difficulties in relationships, maintaining a balanced life, or interpreting the environment.
