Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Hyperthermia, pain, hypoxia, and hypovolemia may all cause an abnormally high heart rate in children.

Answer to Question 2

B
Preventing coughing, straining, vomiting, and touching the operative site are all measures directed toward avoiding increased intraocular pressure. Hypertension is not a symptom of increased intraocular pressure. The head of the bed should be raised slightly and the eye placed in a position that is not dependent to prevent increasing intraocular pressure. Steroids, antibiotics, and mydriatics may be used after the surgery.
