Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Physical and emotional stress can affect the results of the free cortisol test. The other tests are not impacted by stress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hypoglycemia is induced during the growth hormone stimulation test, and the nurse should be ready to administer 50 dextrose immediately. Regular insulin is used to induce hypoglycemia (glargine is never given IV). The patient does not require cardiac monitoring during the test. Although blood samples for some tests must be kept on ice, this is not true for the growth hormone stimulation test.
