Which manifestations is the nurse likely to assess in a patient with stimulating effects of acute stress?
A) Dry skin, reduced respiratory rate
B) Increased blood glucose levels, pupil dilation
C) Hypotension, reduced visual perception
D) Decreased urine production, hypoglycemia
B) Increased blood glucose levels, pupil dilation
Explanation: A) Stimulating consequences of stress include increased blood flow to brain, improved hearing ability, improved visual perception, pupil dilation, increased perspiration, increased respiration rate, increased blood-clotting ability, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, release of glucose into the bloodstream, and increased blood flow to muscles. Inhibiting consequences of stress include reduced digestive system activity, reduced immune system activity, and reduced urine production.
