Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
Common responses to a traumatic event include silence or not responding to verbal stimuli, dizziness, nausea, and headache. A blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is considered normal. The client requesting something to drink is not a reaction to a traumatic event.

Answer to Question 2

1
The trigone of the bladder accommodates the orifices of the ureters and the urethra. The nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney. Trauma to the trigone portion of the bladder may or may not cause detrusor muscle spasms. Damage to the bladder will not cause the kidney to lose the ability to concentrate urine.
