Answer to Question 1

B
In team nursing, licensed vocational nurses/licensed practical nurses and assistive personnel work under the direction of the registered nurse. Functional nursing is task focused, not patient focused. Decentralized management includes decision-making, which is moved down to the level of staff, involving all employees at all levels of activities.

Answer to Question 2

A
During the alarm reaction, rising hormone levels result in increased blood volume, blood glucose levels, epinephrine and norepinephrine amounts, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, oxygen intake, and mental alertness. In addition, the pupils of the eyes dilate to produce a greater visual field.
