Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
The manifestations of relaxation include reduced blood pressure, pulse, peripheral temperature, and respirations; peripheral vasoconstriction; and constricted pupils. Bowel sounds would not necessarily be affected.

C
Capitation calls for the consumer to pay a fixed fee or a per-member-per-month premium. In return, the managed care company agrees to provide all medically necessary health care for all covered people.
