Answer to Question 1

B
Side effects of alpha-adrenergic blocking agents include postural hypotension, syncope, and fainting. The nurse should instruct the patient to sit up slowly.

Answer to Question 2

1. A traumatic event

Rationale:
Factors that predispose a person to develop phobias, such as the fear of not getting out of a room, include traumatic events. Genetic predisposition would mean that others in the client's family have the same fear. Informational transmission means the fear would be explained or demonstrated through the media. Observing others would mean that the client has seen others demonstrate the same fear of not being near the door.
