Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Adrenergic drugs improve hemodynamic status by improving myocardial contractility and increasing heart rate, which results in increased cardiac output. Peripheral resistance is increased by vasoconstriction. The drugs do not improve airway clearance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The client should call the emergency number first and then administer the dose if he or she is alone. The client should not touch the orange or black tip on the end. The dose is administered into the outer thigh and the site is massaged for 10 seconds after removing the device.
