Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Therapeutic hypothermia is seen with reimplantation surgery, not malnutrition, hypothyroidism, or Parkinson disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Epinephrine causes vasoconstriction, stimulates glycolysis, and increases metabolic rate, thus in-creasing secondary heat production. Epinephrine does not lead to decreased vascular tone or in-creased skeletal muscle tone but does increase metabolic rate.
