The answer is (C) exhaustion stage
The alarm stage is the initial reaction to a stressor, where the body recognizes the stress and initiates the fight-or-flight response. This stage is characterized by the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Terri's symptoms suggest a more prolonged exposure to stress rather than an initial reaction.
The resistance stage is where the body attempts to adapt to the stressor. During this stage, the body remains on high alert and continues to release stress hormones. However, this stage is more about coping with the stress rather than collapsing from it.
The exhaustion stage occurs when the body's ability to resist is depleted, and it can no longer maintain normal function. This stage is characterized by burnout, fatigue, and a breakdown of bodily functions, which aligns with Terri's collapse after prolonged stress and lack of sleep and nutrition.
There is no "adjustment stage" in Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, making this option invalid.
The answer is (A) A person that was sexually abused as a child may develop a homosexual orientation.
This statement is false. Sexual orientation is not determined by experiences of sexual abuse. Research indicates that sexual orientation is a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, and not a direct result of abuse.
This statement is true. Sexual orientation is defined by the pattern of emotional, romantic, or sexual attraction to men, women, both, or neither.
This statement is true. While identical twins share the same genetic makeup, they can have different sexual orientations, indicating that factors beyond genetics play a role in determining sexual orientation.
This statement is false. Sexual orientation is not a choice; it is an inherent aspect of an individual's identity.
