Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about physical manifestations associated with the fight-or-flight response to stress. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dilated pupils. During the fight-or-flight response, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to pupil dilation to enhance visual acuity and peripheral vision for increased awareness and reaction time. Hypoglycemia (choice
A) is not a typical physical manifestation of the fight-or-flight response; instead, there is an increase in blood sugar levels to provide energy. Bronchial airway constriction (choice
C) is associated with the parasympathetic nervous system, not the fight-or-flight response. Decreased blood pressure (choice
D) is not a characteristic of the fight-or-flight response, as blood pressure typically increases to supply more oxygen and nutrients to muscles during stress.
