The client has just received news of the death of a relative. Over the next few hours, what physiologic response would the nurse expect related to caused by the stress of this event? • Drop in blood pressure from 130/80 to 120/75 A more bounding pulse • Slight increase in urine output • Some decrease in oxygen saturation

Step 1
Drop in blood pressure from 130/80 to 120/75: This is not a typical response to stress. Usually, stress triggers the body's "fight or flight" response, which often results in an increase in blood pressure, not a decrease. Show more…

nurse in a PACU is assessing a client who is postoperative. Which of the following findings is the priority for the nurse to report to the provider? • Blood pressure 10% lower than baseline • Pain level of 4 on a 0 to 10 scale • Presence of inspiratory stridor • Small amount of sanguineous drainage on dressing?

A hemorrhage causes a loss of blood volume and pressure. Predict which of the following components of the arterial baroreceptor reflex mechanism will compensate by classifying whether they will increase or decrease. 1. Heart rate 2. Rate of sodium and water excretion into urine 3. Sympathetic output to heart, arterioles, and veins 4. Radius of arterioles and veins 5. Parasympathetic output to heart 6. Acetylcholine release onto muscarinic-Ach receptors within the SA node 7. Cardiac output 8. Total peripheral resistance
