Answer to Question 1

A
The hypothalamus, when stimulated, can cause changes in pulse rate, respirations, and blood pressure. These changes in vital signs occur as a result of the hypothalamic control over the autonomic nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

B
Pet ownership and visitation has proven to be effective in reducing loneliness in the elderly. There is a developing nursing role in activities that serve as preventive efforts for the elderly. These include increasing participation in adult day care and other socialization activities, increasing pet ownership and pet visitation programs, and actively seeking and treating depression in the elderly. These nursing strategies help reduce loneliness and increase socialization.
