Answer to Question 1

C
An expected assessment finding of a client experiencing acute pain would be diaphoresis due to sympathetic nerve stimulation.
An expected assessment finding of a client experiencing acute pain would be an increased heart rate, not bradycardia.
An expected assessment finding of a client experiencing acute pain would be an increased res-piratory rate, not bradypnea.
The client experiencing acute pain will have increased muscle tension.

Answer to Question 2

B
The primary benefits of exercise include maintaining and strengthening functional ability and promoting a sense of enhanced well-being.
Shoulder pain is not a normal finding in the older adult. It may indicate a condition such as ar-thritis.
Periodic and thorough review of all medications being used is important to restrict the number of medications used to the fewest necessary. Concurrent use of medications increases the risk for adverse reactions.
Exercise programs should begin conservatively and progress slowly.
