Answer to Question 1

D
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are catecholamine hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla that rapidly elevate heart rate and blood pressure. ACTH originates from the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates cortisol release; ADH originates from the posterior pituitary and increases renal reabsorption of water. ACTH, cortisol, and ADH do not increase heart rate.

Answer to Question 2

D
Subjective data are clients' perceptions about their health problems. Feeling anxious and tense is information that only the client can provide. Objective data are observations or measurements made by the data collector.
In the example, Client appears sleepy, the data collector is making the observation that the client appears sleepy.
No physical distress noted is an example of objective data because it is an observation made by the data collector.
Abdomen soft and non-tender is an example of objective data because it is an observation made by the data collector, not a client's perception.
