The normal physiological responses to the stress of surgery include:
a. decreased peripheral vasoconstriction, increasedheart rate, decreased sodium reabsorption andincreased basal metabolic rate
b. decreased peripheral vasoconstriction, decreasedheart rate, increased sodium reabsorption anddecreased basal metabolic rate.
c. increased peripheral vasoconstriction, increasedheart rate, increased sodium reabsorption and
increased basal metabolic rate.
d. increased peripheral vasoconstriction, decreased
heart rate, increased sodium reabsorption and
decreased basal metabolic rate.
c
The aim of the physiological response is to start the
immune response and enable the clotting factors and immune
mediators to reach the site of injury. The heart rate and
the basal metabolic rate increase to maintain the immune
response.
