Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A lowering of the heart rate to within normal limits indicates relief of pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If respiratory depression occurs, the respiratory rate may decrease, causing hypoventilation. This allows CO2 to build up, causing cerebral vasodilation and increasing intracranial pressure.
