Answer to Question 1

B, D
During stress or stimulation, the heart rate increases more slowly; however, once elevated, it takes longer to return to the resting rate. The other manifestations are not related to age-induced physiologic changes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Manifestations of alcohol withdrawal are elevated blood pressure, elevated pulse, and autonomic hyperactivity. In addition, fever; increased hand tremors; insomnia; nausea and vomiting; tran-sient visual, tactile, or auditory hallucinations or illusions; psychomotor agitation; anxiety; and grand mal seizures may occur. The nurse should see the hypertensive, tachycardic patient as the priority.
