Stress or the potential for stress is ubiquitous; that is, it is every-where and

anywhere at once. Anxiety, frustration, anger, and feel-ings of inadequacy,

helplessness, or powerlessness are emotions often associated with stress. In the
presence of these emotions, the customary activities of daily living may be
disrupted; for example, a sleep disturbance may be present, eating and activity
patterns may be altered, and family processes or role performance may be
disrupted.
