Answer to Question 1

C
Nurse Practice Acts permit the State Board of Nursing to set rules, regulations, and guidelines that specifically define the standard of care in nursing practice. An example is the guidelines that define patient abandonment. The State Department of Health, the Joint Commission, and the Na-tional League for Nursing do not set the legal rules and regulations for patient abandonment.

Answer to Question 2

D
Corticotropin stimulates the adrenal gland to increase the production of corticosteroids, including cortisol, the primary hormone impacting the stress response. Cortisol increases blood glucose, enhances the brain's use of glucose, and increases the availability of substances for tissue repair. Vasopressin increases reabsorption of water by the kidneys and induces vasoconstriction, thereby raising blood pressure. The adrenal gland also releases catecholamines, adrenaline, and noradre-naline, which are important parts of the alarm reaction.
