Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client experiencing sympathetic nervous system stimulation. What assessment finding supports this diagnosis? Select all that apply.

B) is a parasympathetic response, while decreased salivation (
D) and decreased bowel sounds (E) are not specific indicators of sympathetic activation.
