The sympathetic nervous system releases chemicals that cause vasoconstriction and increase the blood pressure. When teaching clients about triggers of the sympathetic nervous system, the nurse should advise to:
 
  1. Change dietary habits.
  2. Increase fluid intake.
  3. Decrease stress.
  4. Monitor urinary output.

Question 2

The nurse is explaining to a client that the peripheral vascular system plays a large part in regulating the blood pressure. The client at risk for alterations in the peripheral vascular system can help decrease vasoconstriction by:
 
  1. Increasing sodium in the diet.
  2. Losing weight.
  3. Decreasing calcium intake.
  4. Increasing alcohol intake.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3

1. Dietary habits do not affect the sympathetic nervous system.
2. Fluid intake does not affect the sympathetic nervous system; however, a client with hypertension would be advised to decrease fluid intake.
3. The sympathetic system is triggered by stress response. Chronic stress can permanently damage the peripheral vascular system, leading to chronic hypertension.
4. The autonomic nervous system is part of the regulation of urine.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. Sodium increases fluid retention and peripheral vascular resistance.
2. Losing weight decreases resistance and lowers blood pressure.
3. Hypertension can be caused by low calcium levels.
4. Excessive alcohol consumption causes hypertension.
