Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The stress response is the body's attempt to promote healing and resolve inflammation when homeostasis is disrupted. The intensity of the stress response depends to some extent on the cause and/or severity of the initial injury.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Rationale: The client who uses licorice root may experience clinical manifestations associated with mineralcorticoid excess. The client may have hypertension, hypokalemia, and edema. The client's serum potassium level will be low. The client may experience edema associated with mineralcorticoid excess. The nurse would not expect to find that the client has a decreased apical pulse. The nurse would not expect to find that the client is experiencing hypothermia.
