Answer to Question 1

A
The patient with hypertension who is not taking medications as prescribed can risk damage to tiny arterioles in the kidney, resulting in poor renal tissue perfusion; this would be an appropriate diagnosis. Nitroglycerine is a vasodilator that improves perfusion rather than risking poor perfusion. The patient with pneumonia requires an oxygenation diagnosis and does not risk ineffective renal perfusion unless the heart is damaged. When the body suffers blood loss, perfusion to the internal organs is not affected because the body compensates by reducing blood flow to the periphery and the quantity of blood loss in the brain is limited by the enclosed compartment.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
As women age, normal physiological responses in sexual behavior include delayed nipple erection, reduced vaginal lubrication, and reduced labial separation and swelling. Vaginal expansion is reduced rather than increased because of decreased estrogen and progesterone levels.
