A patient being seen in the clinic tells a nurse, The pain is in my right side. The patient's phase of illness is

1. Prodromal.
2. Symptomatic.
3. Seeking help.
4. Dependency.

Question 2

A patient tells a nurse, I can't remember anything right before or after my wreck, but the officer told me that I left lots of black marks trying to stop. The nurse explains to the patient:

1. When scared, the parasympathetic system stimulates the fight-or-flight response.
2. Your fight-or-flight response pumps adrenaline into your system, which enhances your ability to react quickly.
3. Cortisol, a natural hormone, ceases production and, as a result, we are able to respond quickly in an emergency.
4. The sympathetic nervous system blocks your endocrine glands, resulting in additional hormones enabling a quick response.
