Answer to Question 1

B
Decreased cardiac output occurs when the left ventricle does not eject sufficient blood volume to the system. When a patient suffers an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), coronary arteries do not supply sufficient blood to the myocardium. When a patient suffers from an AMI, the patient usually presents with severe chest pain, breathlessness, diaphoresis, and hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

D
Knowledge regarding developmental stage will help the nurse to determine responses that are important to the patient. A change in behavior suggests an alteration in self-concept.
