Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The dropping levels of estrogen and progesterone trigger the release of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and then follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) again, along with the start of another menstrual cycle. Lowered hormone levels cause the inner lining of the uterus to slough off because it is no longer stimulated by the hormones, demonstrated by the beginning of menses. The patient is not pregnant or ovulating at the start of another menstrual cycle nor is she preparing to deliver a baby.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Sympathetic stimulation will cause hypertension and increased heart rate so it is important these be monitored. Sympathetic stimulation will also result in increased sweating, decreased gastrointestinal activity, and a sense of anxiety and heightened awareness. Diarrhea, dehydration, fatigue, and lethargy would not be expected.
