Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Pupils dilate to increase visual perception when serious threats to the body arise.
Rationale 2: Sweat production or diaphoresis increases to control elevated body heat due to increased metabolism.
Rationale 3: The heart rate increases to transport nutrients and by-products of metabolism more efficiently.
Rationale 4: Muscle tension increases to prepare for rapid motor activity or defense.
Rationale 5: The mouth might be dry, and would not have an increase in oral secretions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The client's inability to focus on activities and events is not a characteristic of the resistance stage of the general adaption syndrome.
Rationale 2: The client's being exhausted and sleeping are characteristics of the stage of exhaustion within the general adaption syndrome.
Rationale 3: In the second stage in the general adaption syndrome, the stage of resistance is when the body's adaption takes place. The body attempts to cope with the stressor and to limit the stressor to the smallest area of the body that can deal with it, such as with localized swelling and inflammation of a leg wound.
Rationale 4: An elevated capillary blood glucose level is a finding associated with the alarm stage of the general adaption syndrome.
