Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Sympathetic system dominance is characterized by increased epinephrine levels in the body, contributing to such stress-related conditions as hypertension, tachycardia, and increased respiratory rate. Parasympathetic dominance has opposite effects, reducing the effects of stress and stress-related illnesses on the body.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The goal of the TCM diagnostic process when assessing a client who practices traditional Chinese medicine is to arrive at the pattern of disharmony that is being manifested. The nurse would obtain a holistic health history and assess particular parts of the client's body, such as the tongue and pulses.
