Answer to Question 1

D
Norepinephrine is a catecholamine. It is released in response to sympathetic stimulation and causes increased heart rate and blood pressure and other symptoms of anxiety. Glutamate, serotonin, and acetylcholine are not associated with sympathetic nervous system stimulation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patient information is privileged. Information cannot be released without consent signed by the patient. None of the other conditions is sufficient.
