Answer to Question 1

B
Cardiac pain does not occur with respiratory variations. It is most often substernal and typically radiates to the left arm and jaw in men. Some women have epigastric pain, complaints of indi-gestion, or a choking feeling and dyspnea. The nurse should assess further.

Answer to Question 2

C
When a nurse collects objective data, he or she should apply critical thinking intellectual standards (e.g., clear, precise, and consistent). Nurses do not include personal interpretive statements.
