Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Norepinephrine heightens arousal and increases energy. Acetylcholine and dopamine promote coordinated movement. Serotonin stabilizes mood, induces sleep, and regulates the temperature of a person. Substance P transmits the sensation of pain, whereas endorphins and enkephalins interrupt the transmission of substance P and promote a sense of well-being.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Passive exercise is most suitable for clients who are comatose or paralyzed from a stroke or spinal injury. Nurses perform exercises that maintain muscle tone and flexible joints. Active exercise is performed independently by clients who have undergone mastectomy surgery in order to exercise the arm on the surgical side. Isotonic exercise is the activity performed by clients to promote cardiorespiratory conditioning and increase lean muscle. Clients who have had prior cardiac-related symptoms, such as chest pain, or have major health risks use a stress electrocardiogram to assess their heart response to physical activity.
