Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The release of hormones increase the heart rate, resulting in increased cardiac output and elevated blood pressure. A reading of 120/84 is a normal blood pressure, and temperature is elevated is indicative of an infection. The respiratory rate increases in stress not decreases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In the fight or flight response, the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) released by the hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). These hormones increase the heart rate, resulting in increased cardiac output, and the motility of the digestive tract is decreased, slowing digestive processes that could result in abdominal distress. Sense of coherence (SOC) is a characteristic of personality that references one's perception of the world as comprehensible, meaningful, and manageable. Stress appraisal is the automatic, often unconscious, assessment of a demand or stressor. The sympathoadrenal response is a consequence of hypothalamic activation in sympathetic stimulation, which triggers epinephrine and norepinephrine release from the adrenal medulla.
