The client is experiencing an episode of hypoglycemia. The nurse understands that the physiological mechanism that should take place to combat this decrease in the blood glucose level is:
 
  1. Decreased cortisol release
  2. Increased insulin secretion
  3. Decreased epinephrine release
  4. Increased glucagon secretion

Question 2

The nurse is assisting in conducting a prenatal session with a group of expectant parents. One of the expectant parents asks, How does the milk get secreted from the breast? The best response by the nurse should be:
 
  1. Testosterone stimulates the secretion of milk, which is called lactogenesis.
  2. Oxytocin stimulates the secretion of milk, which is called lactogenesis.
  3. Prolactin stimulates the secretion of milk, which is called lactogenesis.
  4. Progesterone stimulates the secretion of milk, which is called lactogenesis.

Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Glucagon is secreted from the alpha cells in the pancreas in response to declining blood glucose levels. At the same time, hypoglycemia triggers increased cortisol release, increased epinephrine release, and decreased secretion of insulin. Decreased cortisol release, increased insulin secretion, and decreased epinephrine release are not physiological mechanisms that take place to combat the decrease in the blood glucose level.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: Prolactin stimulates the secretion of milk, which is called lactogenesis. Oxytocin stimulates contractions during birth and stimulates postpartum contractions to compress uterine vessels and control bleeding. Testosterone is produced by the adrenal glands in the female and induces the growth of pubic and axillary hair at puberty. Progesterone stimulates the secretions of the endometrial glands, causing endometrial vessels to become highly dilated and tortuous in preparation for possible embryo implantation.
