Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of action of the Aortic and Carotid bodies?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Aortic and carotid bodies, chemoreceptors, slow respiration when BP rises e.g., baroreceptors signal reduced need for O2 delivery. Increased RR (hypoxia), alkalosis (pH), or acidosis (metabolic) misalign. Nurses note this e.g., in hypertension for respiratory adjustments, per cardiovascular interplay.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: John Westerhoff's faith theory (1970s) sees faith as evolving behavior e.g., from received to owned faith through life events. Gilligan's ethics, Fowler's abstract faith, and Freud's psychology differ. His experiential stages affiliative, searching guide nursing's spiritual care, helping patients express faith through actions, enhancing holistic support.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Florence Nightingale was born May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy, to British parents named for her birthplace. She trained in Germany and worked in Britain, not France. Her Italian origin ties to her environmental theory's roots, shaping nursing's global history and Crimean legacy.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Relapsing fever spikes (39.5-40°C) with normal breaks (36.5°C) e.g., borrelia, days apart. Intermittent (daily normal), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses note this e.g., two-day gap for infection management, per fever types.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The medulla's respiratory center sets rhythm and depth e.g., 12-20 breaths/min via dorsal/ventral groups. Pons refines, carotid/aortic adjust via chemo input. Nurses assess this e.g., COPD for function, per neurophysiology.
