Answer to Question 1

1. Leaning toward the client.

Rationale:
The nurse best conveys physical attending by leaning toward the client which conveys involvement. Facilitating and taking action do not denote that the nurse is conveying physical attendance. Maintaining social distance does not convey physical attending. Being concrete is a method of communicating needed information to the client.

Answer to Question 2

1. The medication widens the airways because it stimulates the fight-or-flight response of the nervous system..

Rationale:
During the fight-or-flight response, beta2-adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system are stimulated, the bronchiolar smooth muscle relaxes, and bronchodilation occurs. Bronchodilators act on the sympathetic nervous system, not the parasympathetic nervous system. Bronchodilators do not decrease the production of mucous. Bronchodilators do not decrease the production of histamine.
