Answer to Question 1

A
Autonomic dysreflexia occurs as a result of abnormal cardiovascular response to stimulation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system as a result of stimulation of the bladder, large intestine, or other visceral organs. The most common cause of this condition includes a distended bladder or fecal impaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A pulmonary function test is needed if a patient is obese or a smoker. The other choices are all blood tests that were done as part of the complete analysis of blood samples.
