Answer to Question 1

3, 4, 5, 6
Assessment findings consistent with a sympathetic response include dilated pupils, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and increased respiratory rate. Assessment findings consistent with a parasympathetic response include decreased heart rate and increased bowel sounds.

Answer to Question 2

3
For the best effect in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, timolol (Timoptic) and latanoprost (Xalatan) should be prescribed together. Metoprolol is not prescribed for open-angle glaucoma.
