The nurse educator is reviewing the process of synaptic transmission following the sympathetic pathway. In which order will the nurse explain the steps of synaptic transmission?
 
  1. Action potential encounters adrenergic receptors
  2. Action potential encounters cholinergic receptors
  3. Action potential travels across the preganglionic neuron
  4. Action potential travels across the postganglionic neuron
  5. Target tissue is reached.
 
  Standard Text: Click and drag the options below to move them up or down.

Question 2

The nurse provides group education to active adolescents about sodium replacement after exercising outdoors. What is the best information to include?
 
  1. Have extra salt with your breakfast on days you exercise outdoors.

  4. Water is the best fluid replacement after exercising.

Answer to Question 1

3,2,4,1,5

Global Rationale: In the sympathetic pathway, the action potential travels down the preganglionic neuron, encounters cholinergic receptors where is crosses the first ganglionic synapse, travels down the postganglionic neuron, encounters adrenergic receptors, and the reaches target tissues.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Increasing salt intake prior to exercising is not necessary.
Rationale 2: There is no need to avoid exercising.
Rationale 3: Salt tablets can increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Rationale 4: Heat-related problems can be best avoided by consuming adequate amounts of water.
Global Rationale: Heat-related problems can be best avoided by consuming adequate amounts of water. Salt tablets can increase the risk of hypernatremia. There is no need to avoid exercising as long as enough water is consumed to avoid dehydration. Increasing salt intake prior to exercising is not necessary.
