Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
When an individual bears down to defecate, the increased pressures in the abdominal and thoracic cavities result in a decreased blood flow and a temporary decrease in cardiac output. Once the bearing down ceases, the pressure is lessened, and a larger than normal amount of blood returns to the heart; this act elevates the client's blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Breast-fed infants have more frequent stools, and the stools are yellow to golden, loose, and usually have little odor. With formula or cow's milk feedings, infants' stools vary from yellow to brown and are pasty in consistency.
