Answer to Question 1

B, D
Feedback:
Beta-blockers reduce heart rate and blood pressure; both parameters should be assessed prior to administration. Beta-blockers do not significantly affect potassium levels, oxygen levels, or peripheral circulation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Thyroid-stimulating hormone is released in response to stress, such as exposure to cold. Luteinizing hormone is released in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Corticotropin stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce corticosteroids. Somatostatin inhibits the release of growth hormone.
