Answer to Question 1

A
Serum cardiac markers are certain proteins that are released into the blood in large quantities from necrotic heart muscle after a myocardial infarction. These markers, specifically cardiac serum enzymes and troponin 1, are important screening diagnostic criteria for acute MI.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Acknowledging the stress and difficulty of a situation conveys interest and availability. Asking the patient how the spouse has been helped in the past might place the patient on the defensive. Stating the speed in which the patient's hip will heal does not address the patient's concern. Looking into homecare options focuses on the patient's and spouses potential needs but does not demonstrate availability.
