Answer to Question 1

A
Angina pectoris is chest pain that results from limited oxygen supply. Often pain is precipitated by activities such as exercise, stress, and eating a heavy meal and lasts from 1 to 15 minutes. Hyperventilation may occur to compensate for decreased oxygen perfusion. Symptoms of angina pectoris are relieved by rest and/or nitroglycerin. Oxygen saturation, pain, and tingling in the arm should be relieved by rest. Pain or arm tingling that persists could be a sign of myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

C
An intervention to promote learning in the affective domain would be encouraging the client to discuss his feelings about his health status.
Asking the client what he believes he needs to know about the diagnosis would be an interven-tion to promote learning in the cognitive domain.
Providing brochures on current exercises and nutrition guidelines would be an intervention to promote learning in the cognitive domain.
Having the client perform a return demonstration of self-measurement of his blood pressure would be an intervention to promote learning in the psychomotor domain.
