Scenario: Christopher Weiss is a nursing student. Think about his lifestyle how his lifestyle contributes to symptoms of stress. His school-related workload places Christopher at risk for stress. In addition, other factors, such as demands from family members or a need to work part-time, decrease his ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, rest, and good nutrition.

Once day he comes to the student health center saying that he feels sick. He states, "I'm supposed to start my critical care rotation tomorrow, and I'm terrified not only of the tubes and machines, but also of my instructor. I had her for my health assessment class, and it was really a disaster. I feel sick, and I am just shaking all over."

He admitted feeling overwhelmed and extremely anxious about his upcoming critical care clinical rotation. His stressors included lack of confidence in manipulating the equipment and machines of the unit, and the demands that might be placed on him by the instructor. As a result of his anticipated fears and lack of confidence, he physiologically responded to the stressors by feeling sick. These stressors could also affect his ability to function intellectually and socially.
