Question 1 of 5
When there is stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), blood is diverted away from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. What might the nurse assess that would indicate this diversion of blood flow to the GI tract?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased bowel sound. When the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, blood is diverted away from the gastrointestinal tract to support vital functions during the "fight or flight" response. This diversion results in decreased bowel activity, leading to decreased bowel sounds. Increased blood glucose level (choice
B) is not directly related to blood flow diversion in the GI tract. Decreased immune reaction (choice
C) and increased blood pressure (choice
D) are also not direct indicators of blood flow diversion.
