Which functional health pattern is most closely associated with assessing how the patient feels about the surgery?

• A. Coping-stress tolerance
• B. Value-belief
• C. Cognitive-perceptual
• D. Sexuality-reproductive

Answer: (A)

Coping-stress tolerance focuses on how a person manages stress and adapts to challenging situations, such as surgery. Assessing how the patient feels about the procedure directly taps into their emotional response and their coping resources—anxieties, fears, confidence, and readiness. This information guides how to support them before surgery, using clear information, reassurance, relaxation techniques, and social support to help them cope with the anticipated stress. Other patterns address different aspects: value-belief looks at personal or cultural beliefs about surgery and its purpose; cognitive-perceptual assesses how the patient interprets information and perceives symptoms; sexuality-reproductive concerns relate to sexual function or reproduction.
