Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Stabilization of vital signs is not an expected effect of this medication.
Rationale 2: Relief of muscle spasms may help with self-concept, but this is not a direct effect of the drug.
Rationale 3: Decreasing muscle spasms will help prevent pain that can interfere with sleep.
Rationale 4: This medication relaxes muscles, but it will not increase bladder tone.
Global Rationale: Decreasing muscle spasms will help prevent pain that can interfere with sleep. This medication relaxes muscles, but it will not increase bladder tone. Stabilization of vital signs is not an expected effect of this medication. Relief of muscle spasms may help with self-concept, but this is not a direct effect of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Histamine and other chemical mediators are released and result in vasodilation.
Rationale 2: Vessels become more permeable.
Rationale 3: Pus develops from cellular infiltration and death of white cells.
Rationale 4: Clots form in vessels involved in inflammation.
Rationale 5: Inflammation damages tissues, stimulating nerve endings and causing pain.

Global Rationale: Histamine and other chemical mediators are released and result in vasodilation. Vessels become more permeable. Pus develops from cellular infiltration and death of white cells. Inflammation damages tissues, stimulating nerve endings and causing pain. Clots form in vessels involved in inflammation.
