Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Administering epidural analgesics requires close monitoring for respiratory depression. None of the other options is indicative of opiate toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a noninvasive method an individual can employ to learn control of the body to manage certain conditions. It may be considered when other therapies have not been successful or in conjunction with other treatments. Health concerns such as anxiety, stress, irritable bowel syndrome, and asthma may be managed using biofeedback.
