Answer to Question 1

C
One of the initial compensatory responses to a falling blood pressure is an increased pulse rate. Warm flushed skin, respiratory rate of 12, or an increased urine output are not associated with a low blood pressure.

Joyce Travelbee extensively developed the ideas of sympathy, empathy, and rapport, through which the nurse could begin to comprehend and relate to the uniqueness of others.
