Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Temperature elevation is a late sign of malignant hyperthermia.
B Malignant hyperthermia should be suspected when unexpected tachypnea, tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, unstable blood pressure, cyanosis, skin mottling, and muscular rigidity are evident.
C Muscle rigidity, not relaxation, is an early sign of malignant hyperthermia.
D Skin pallor is not an early sign of malignant hyperthermia. Skin pallor may be seen in the immediate postoperative period, as the body is cool.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A The statement His cultural time orientation is to the past is not a determining factor for future needs.
B Aboriginal life choices and the responsibility to choose, and a belief in living day by day may help to explain why the patient does not appear interested in discussing the future of his diabetes management.
C The statement He believes that there is no point in worrying about what has not yet happened does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.
D The statement His belief is that time will heal his condition does not reflect Aboriginal values or beliefs.
