2 Responses to Critical Care and Stress in Nursing Response 1 to Julia DiPaolo Julia highlights the importance of experience and education in keeping calm under pressure. I concur that how a medical caretaker acts can hugely affect how stressed a patient or their friends and family are. The facts confirm that carefully prepared attendants are better prepared to deal with these difficult circumstances. The physiological stress response is where our views diverge. Julia briefly discusses how our bodies are wired to prepare for fight or flight. The release of adrenaline and other stress hormones in reaction to such stimuli is responsible for increased blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate commonly associated with such responses (ATI, 2023). Julia also makes an important point by emphasizing the severe consequences of poor gas exchange in stressed patients. While oxygen treatment might help temporarily, a more comprehensive methodology that considers both physical and psychological wellness might be more gainful over the long haul. Overseeing pressure, enhancing concentration, and diminishing anxiety are benefits of profound relaxation. Providing patients and their loved ones with emotional support and open lines of communication has been shown to alleviate anxiety (Professional, n.d.). Response 2 to April Davis April's advice offers a comprehensive method for handling stress. Her advocacy for self- care and stress-reduction practices like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing rings true. In contrast, our opinions differ on the best ways to alleviate stress. Though April highlights the value of tried-and-true relaxation methods, she also suggests looking at cognitive-behavioral
3 approaches. These are often crucial in altering negative mental processes contributing to anxiety in stressful situations. I agree with April's assessment of the physiological impacts of stress on breathing. Patients with poor gas exchange face particular difficulties, such as difficulty clearing secretions, which must be identified and addressed through individualized care (Hinkle et al., 2022). The "instinctive" response to stress raises heart and breathing rates, worsening breathing difficulties. Coughing and deep breathing exercises can help mobilize and clear mucus from the airways, leading to better airway clearance and gas exchange (Professional, n.d.). References
