Answer: B Explanation: A) The correct definition of "resiliency" is the ability to bounce back quickly after an insult. The degree of resiliency is placed along a continuum between being unable to mount a response to having strong reserves. Other characteristics of this model include: vulnerability, stability, complexity, predictability, resource availability, participation in care, and participation in decision making. #1 and #3 do not define resiliency and are norelated to the synergy model patient characteristics. #4, "stability," is defined as the ability to return to a state of equilibrium and range between unresponsive to therapies and at high risk for death to stable and responsive to therapy.

A) Inability to control elimination B) Lack of family support C) Hunger D) Altered ability to communicate Answer: D 4 Explanation: A) Other items included in Cornock's categories are: being thirsty, having tubes in the mouth and nose, being restricted by tubes/lines, being unable to sleep, and not being able to control themselves. #1, #2, and #3 are incorrect. Although the inability to contro elimination is similar to not being able to control one's self, the interpretation by Cornoc does not include this aspect as a stressor. Lack of family support and hunger were not identified as stressors by his research.
