Answer to Question 1

C
A continuous state of stress increases the body's metabolic rate and the oxygen demand. The body responds to stress by an increased rate and depth of respiration and increased cardiac output. Hemoptysis, bloody sputum, does not occur in stress.

Answer to Question 2

D
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) provides recommendations on fluid and food intake before procedures requiring general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or sedation/analgesia. The ASA recommendations include fasting from intake of clear liquids for 2 or more hours, and a light meal of toast and clear liquids for 6 hours. The patient also cannot have any meat or fried foods 8 hours before surgery, unless explicitly specified by the anesthesiologist or surgeon.
