Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and it assists the heart to beat in a normal rhythm. The sinoatrial node does not protect from atherosclerotic changes or infection, and it does not directly provide the heart with oxygenated blood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Recent changes in elimination patterns, color, consistency, or odor are important for the nurse to know concerning elimination. Discomfort or pain during elimination is important for the nurse to know. A nurse should also know which medications the patient is on as this may affect elimination. Personal preferences are not the most important data the nurse needs to collect.
