Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, D
Feedback:
Physiologic responses to unrelieved acute pain include increased secretion of antidiuretic hormone, gluconeogenesis, protein catabolism, increased secretion of cortisol, and increased peripheral vascular resistance.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
End tidal CO2 is considered a highly reliable measure of the quality of ventilation and, unlike pulse oximetry, is an early indicator of impending respiratory depression. Although respiratory rate and lungs sounds help evaluate the client's respiratory status, they are not reliable indicators of impending respiratory depression.
