Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The nurse should auscultate the renal arteries by placing the bell of the stethoscope lightly in the areas of the renal arteries, located in the left and right upper abdominal quadrants. Systolic bruits (whooshing sounds) may indicate renal artery stenosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, D, E

The vomiting center in the medulla of the brain may be affected by the vestibular system of the ear, acute myocardial infarction, pregnancy, and increased intracranial pressure. An asthma exacerbation is least likely to cause severe nausea and vomiting.
