Answer to Question 1

A
Cardiac pain does not occur with respiratory variations. Cardiac chest pain is most often subs-ternal and radiates to the left arm and jaw in men, but some women have epigastric pain, com-plaints of indigestion, or a choking feeling and dyspnea. Pericardial pain results from an inflam-mation of the pericardial sac and is usually nonradiating and often occurs with inspiration. Pleu-ritic chest pain is peripheral and usually radiates to the scapular region. Inspiratory maneuvers aggravate pleuritic chest pain.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Holism is considered to be the sum of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. Care that reflects this multidimensional nature of individuals can be considered to be holistic. Interdisciplinary care and continual evaluation are congruent with holistic care but they are not definitive. It is not appropriate to prioritize nonphysical needs in every client; prioritization of needs should be determined on an individual basis.
