Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The radial artery is the site most commonly assessed in the clinical setting. The radial pulse is palpated on the thumb side of the inner aspect of the wrist.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Emotional or physical stress can elevate body temperature. When stress stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, circulating levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine increase. As a result, the metabolic rate increases, which, in turn, increases heat production. Stressed or anxious clients may have an elevated temperature with no underlying pathology.
