An increase in stress lowers one’s ability both to perceive events and to make rational decisions (King, 1981). This “may then lead to decreased interactions and goal setting between nurse and [client], and to ineffective nursing care. In addition, subsequent interference in each person’s developmental tasks may occur” (King, 1981, p. 148). Nurses can decrease stress through various techniques, which may include:

(1) providing information,

(2) assessing physiological change,

(3) assisting clients (individuals or groups) to articulate concerns,

(4) facilitating goal setting by clients (individuals or groups), and

(5) suggesting alternative means to attain the goals. (King, 1981)
