For the past 2 days, a client's apical pulse has been about 80 beats per minute (bpm). Today, however, you detect an apical pulse of 44 bpm.
 
  You interpret that which of the following is the most serious potential consequence of this change in the client's condition?
  1. weakened peripheral pulses
  2. activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade
  3. increased stroke volume
  4. decreased cardiac output

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

4. Addiction is a biopsychosocial problem..

Rationale:
The biopsychosocial explanation of addiction is supported by current research and takes a more holistic view of the problem. The view of addiction as a moral disease is nontherapeutic. Viewing addiction as only a behavioral or emotional problem oversimplifies a complex issue.
