Answer to Question 1
B
Feedback:
Provide the following patient teaching: Avoid driving or operating dangerous machinery because dizziness, lethargy, and ataxia may occur; try to drink a lot of fluids and maintain nutrition (very important), even though nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. There is no need to eliminate red meat, seafood, caffeine, or alcohol from the diet, although alcohol may increase the risk of GI irritation. Patients should be taught to avoid the sun due to possible photosensitivity.
Answer to Question 2
A
Feedback:
When stimulated by a stressful or fearful situation, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) prepares the body to flee or to turn and fight. Cardiovascular activity increases as do blood pressure, heart rate, and blood flow to skeletal muscles. Respiratory rate increases, pupils dilate, and sweating increases. Decrease in sweating, BP, heart rate, respiratory rate, and pupil constriction indicate stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which would not be stimulated by fear.
