Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should associate the neurotransmitter norepinephrine with the fight-or-flight response. Norepinephrine produces activity in the sympathetic postsynaptic nerve terminal and is associated with the regulation of mood, cognition, perception, locomotion, sleep, and arousal.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nursing instructor should best explain that the process by which neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft and returned to the presynaptic neuron is by reuptake. Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitters are stored for reuse.
