Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3, 4, 5, 6
This reaction prepares a person for action by increasing heart rate; diverting blood from the intes-tines to the brain and striated muscles; and increasing blood pressure, respiratory rate, and blood sugar levels. Body temperature and oxygen saturation are not typically affected by fight or flight.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Wrapping the client's extremities has been recommended to reduce the incidence and intensity of shivering. Hot packs should not be applied to the client's axilla and groin. Fluids should not be restricted, but increased to replace fluids lost as a result of the fever. Hypothermia blankets may be used to reduce fever, but if the client is already shivering, a hypothermia blanket is not used, as further stimulation of shivering should be avoided.
