Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Physical signs of stress include elevated blood pressure, pulse, and respirations, dilated pupils, increased blood volume, and elevated blood glucose level. Respirations of 16 are within normal limits for an adult. This finding indicates a healthy response. A blood pressure of 160/90 mmHg, a blood glucose of 210 mg/dL, and a heart rate of 150 are all elevated and would indicate stress.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The pneumonic HOPE is described as: H for spiritual resources, O for participation in organized religion, P for personal spiritual practices, and E for effects of healthcare and end-of-life issues.
