Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Drugs to control bleeding are also given to patients with liver disease because liver disease prohibits clotting factors and proteins needed for clotting from being produced in adequate quantities. Lyme's disease, DIC, and pheochromocytoma are not indications for administration of agents to control bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Feedback:
PNS stimulation results in increased motility and secretions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to promote digestion and absorption of nutrients: decreased heart rate and contractility to conserve energy and provide rest for the heart; constriction of the bronchi, with increased secretions; relaxation of the GI and urinary bladder sphincters, allowing evacuation of waste products; pupillary constriction, which decreases the light entering the eye and decreases stimulation of the retina. While urinary sphincters relax, they do not lose control so incontinence would not be an expected manifestation.
