An "onset question" is a type of question that relates to what the client was doing when the symptoms and signs first appeared.

The OPQRST can be defined as a focused assessment designed to evaluate the pain that has brought the client in for this specific event. OPQRST stands for Onset, Provokes, Quality Region and Radiation, Severity, and Time Course. 

The correct answer to the question above is "onset." Onset refers to the start of something. By using 5W and 1H, onset describes the beginning in detail. Typically, questions that relate to onset, such as:

  1. when did the pain initiate?
  2. What were you doing?
  3. What were you doing when the pain started?
  4. How did it start or manifest (rapidly or gradually)?
  5. Is it sudden or gradual, acute or chronic? 

Etc.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. causing threshold to be reached more quickly      

Explanation:

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenalin, is an organic compound, which belongs to the catecholamine family. It acts as a hormone and a neurotransmitter in the brain and the body and also impacts the heart.

It is one of the hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla. Norepinephrine is a part of the fight-or-flight mechanism of the body. It acts by binding to the β-1 receptors and opens the chemical or ligand gated calcium and sodium ion channels. Therefore, <u>it causes the threshold to be reached faster </u>by increasing the rate of depolarization and thus causes heart arrhythmia.

Therefore, <u>Norepinephrine acts on the heart by </u><u>causing threshold to be reached faster.</u>
