Answer to Question 1

A
During the shock phase of the general adaptation syndrome, epinephrine prepares the body to react in an emergency situation by increasing heart rate and blood pressure. In response to the epinephrine release, the endocrine system releases corticotrophin-releasing hormone, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because a nurse will be providing care for more than one patient on each shift, it is important to make a time-sequenced work plan or work sheet to prioritize patient care for the day. Many institutions have forms that can be used or one may need to write his/her own list of things to do in the order of need of completion. This is the best strategy this student can use. Asking the nurse or instructor will not assist the student in developing her own strategy for the future or in staying organized throughout the day. The patient is not a reliable source as not every patient is aware of what needs to be completed for the day.
