Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Sepsis is an entire-body inflammatory process. Sepsis is most often the result of gram-positive infections from Staphylococcus and Streptococcus bacteria but may also follow gram-negative bacterial infections such as Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella. A portal of entry for sepsis is the urinary system. Leukocytosis occurs with sepsis if the client is able to mount an immune response. An elevated temperature is a manifestation of sepsis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Assessing temperature and monitoring heart rate and pupil reaction are important when assessing a client with septicemia, but a change in skin color will alert the nurse immediately of decreased tissue perfusion.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
