Coping Study Guide:
Definition of Coping: a person’s ability to respond to an environmental or physiological stimulus in an acceptable manner which includes both cognitive and behavioral actions.
Concept Key Terms:
• Adaptation: ability to change in response to environment or situation
• Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): a hormone produced in pituitary gland that targets the adrenal cortex to release corticol
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH): a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that targets the kidneys to not excrete urine and also constricts blood vessels which increase blood pressure
• Catecholamine: a group of neurotransmitters that include epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine
• Coping: a person’s ability to respond to an

• Denial: the inability to recognize a situation
• Disease: any abnormal functioning of the body, organs, tissues, or cells that create the inability to function normally
• Displacement: the movement from normal by some measure
• Dysplasia: abnormal cell growth, size, grouping, shape within the same tissue
• Fight-or-flight: the sympathetic nervous system response to stimuli
• Glucocorticoids: the steroid that is produced by the adrenal glands
• Gluconeogenesis: the liver uses amino acids and glycerol to synthesize glucose instead of carbohydrates
• Guided imagery: a nonpharmaceutical technique that uses descriptions to guide patients to a mental happy place to help relieve pain
• Homeostasis: the dynamic process of the body to return to a normal state
• Hyperplasia: formation of many new cells in tissues or organs
• Inflammation: the response to injured tissue that stops bleeding and causes swelling and warmth as the tissue prepares to repair itself
• Intellectualization: thinking in a logical non emotional way to prevent anxiety, a defense mechanism
• Negative feedback loop: chemical chain of events that results in a decrease of response
• Parasympathetic: the rest and digest response from the central nervous
What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful?How is this different than the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ?
The location of the pituitary gland is in the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone and attaches to the hypothalamus(Marieb & Hoehn 441). The Hypothalamus is included in the function of the pituitary gland as it sends chemical stimulus to it(Marieb & Hoehn 442).Part of the pituitary is called the “ master endocrine gland” due to the fact that is produces many hormones that affect the whole body(Shannon 175).This part of the pituitary gland is called the anterior pituitary(Marieb & Hoehn 601). There are six hormones that the anterior pituitary secretes normally. These Hormones are growth hormones,thyroid stimulating hormones,adrenocorticotropic hormones,luteinizing hormones,follicle stimulating hormones and prolactin hormones( Shannon 175).The Hormone prolactin is one that in normal function stimulates the act of lactation for new mothers to feed their baby(Shannon 175).
The hypothalamus releases corticotrophin (CHR), which is a chemical messenger. CHR stimulates the pituitary gland to release adrenal corticotrophin (ACTH). ACTH, which is released into the blood, then signals the adrenal gland. When the adrenal gland receives ACTH, it is the chemical signal for cortisol production. In a normal system, cortisol (an anti-inflammatory) production would stop after being released, but if there is a break down in the process, cortisol production continues, leading to Cushing’s disease....
“There is no real definition for disease. ” This is a claim that Melody Petersen makes in her book. Most would define disease as an abnormality in regards to health. This seems logical, but it leads to the following question : what is “normal” ? What is the definition of “healthy” ? Asking major pharmaceutical companies these questions will most likely lead to the following conclusion: disease is malleable. In other words, it is open to a certain level of interpretation. According to Petersen, giant drug manufacturers consider disease to be a business. Thus, they create a market out of people’s physical or emotional shortcomings. In 1998, Pharmacia, a large American manufacturer of prescription drugs,
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited condition that affects hormone production in the adrenal gland. The individual lacks enzymes to make cortisol, and hormones are instead are shifted away to make other hormones, specifically androgens. This results in the deficiency of cortisol and the abundance of testosterone.

Cushing’s syndrome is defined as the hypersecretion of a class of steroid hormones known as corticosteroids such as cortisol. These substances, which are involved in anti-inflammatory and metabolic activities, are secreted by the cortex of the adrenal glands. The two triangle-shaped, suprarenal glands are composed of two layers; the outer portion is the adrenal cortex and the inner region is the adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex is signaled to secrete corticosteroids in response to the hormone, adrenocorticotrohpic hormone (ACTH), released by the pituitary gland, which is first signaled by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CTH) originating in the hypothalamus. In view of this pathway, Cushing’s syndrome may be the result of dysfunction in several areas of the body.
A person with any disability that prevents these goals from being reached is considered unhealthy. Finally, he defined being diseased as having at least one organ which is involved in a state or process that reduces one’s ability to reach their vital goals (Kostko 2014). This explanation entails that disease is not as specific as Boorse believes, because any obstacle that prevents goals from being reached is now considered unhealthy.
Inflammation is the reaction of the body's tissue to an injury, fundamental in the innate and adaptive response. Signs of inflammation are characterised as rubor, dolor, tumor and calor, meaning redness, pain, swelling and heat respectively. The benefits of inflammation outweighs the adverse effects and is important for survival although too much inflammation might cause harm, like sepsis or septic shock[4].
The different hormones on the renal tubule concern renin with low blood pressure where it’s released by the kidneys and creates angiotensin II to stimulate the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone. Aldosterone promotes salt and water reabsorption, decreases urine volume and increases blood pressure. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is being dehydrated and causing the release of ADH which then stimulates water reabsorption in collecting ducts. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) promotes water and salt excretion in response to high blood pressure, the increase in urine volume and decreased blood volume results in decreased blood pressure. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases blood calcium by increasing calcium absorption in the kidney. It also causes the release of calcium from bones and stimulates production of Vitamin D in the
To begin, a major stressor in my life is the admission procedure and being accepted into Florida A&M University’s Nursing Program. Throughout my college years, I’ve worked extremely hard to reach this goal. However, the thought of the program only selecting fifty students, including international students, frightens me. The amount of students being limited causes me to stress the thought if I’m rejected; I’ve wasted my years and money on courses that cannot benefit me. On top of that, I would have to find a new major to get into, and start the process of perquisites all over again. In addition, another reason that terrifies me is when getting tested through an interview process. Personally, I struggle with
This essay will review the Endocrine system, its components and its functions. It will also look into how the assessments that practitioners perform on patients relate to the chosen system, and discuss any ethical and practical issues that may arise. I will also go into a brief explanation of the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, and how they interact with the endocrine system.
After three years of using drugs and alcohol to cure myself of anxiety, depression, anger, and stress, I lost the ability to savor life without using. I found myself in positions in which I could not contain my anger or went into a state of extreme depression. Today, I am in a drug and alcohol treatment center. Being here has taught me how to overcome problems without using drugs and alcohol, but by using safe coping skills. Safe coping skills are an exceptionally useful way of managing with anxiety, anger, depression, and stress. I employ safe coping skills by reading books, praying to my higher power, and by communicating positively with myself and others. By employing these methods you can guarantee yourself an improved lifestyle.

This research is guided by two major theories. First, Transactional Theory, which is a widely accepted theory of coping developed by Richard Lazarus and Susan Folkman. Second, the Control Theory developed by Charles Carver and Michael Scheier.
