Hi there! The correct answer is a) testosterone & serotonin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h2>     What is each hormone & neurotransmitter responsible for?</h2><h2></h2>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Testosterone is the male sex hormone that is categorized as an anabolic steroid. With a heightened (normal) level of serotonin, males would experience pubescent effects - hair growth, development and regulation of a libido (sex drive), and increases your muscle mass.

  • Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is linked to mood and cognition (thinking). If you have a surplus of serotonin, you're usually happy, cheerful, and optimistic. If you have a deficit of serotonin, however, this can lead to gloominess, negative thoughts, and you would not be as interested in your hobbies or extracurricular activities.

  • Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that is linked to pleasure (eating your favorite food, hearing your favorite song, or taking a nice, hot bath after a long school day). It is also linked to some vital functions - blood pressure, sleep, and the processing of pain. Consequently, if you have a normal measure of dopamine, your body would be homeostatic - normal heart rate & blood pressure, no injuries to cause pain, and your sleep would be normal (going to bed at a decent hour and waking up at a relative time). But, if your dopamine levels are high, you can actually experience both positive and/or negative effects - heightened anxiety levels, increased energy, and difficulty sleeping. If your dopamine levels were to be low, you can experience muscle cramps, depression, or chronic fatigue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h2></h2><h2>                How do our findings apply to the question?</h2><h2></h2>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • <u>Serotonin</u> cannot be linked to aggression because deficits of this hormone would be linked to depression or negative thoughts, but it doesn't ultimately lead to aggression. Therefore, we know that testosterone is the hormone linked to aggression, eliminating options B and D.

  • Because heightened levels of <u>dopamine</u> are associated with heightened anxiety levels (a.k.a. a stressful experience), this most likely would not suffice the requirements of the question. Therefore, this would eliminate option C.

  • However, because serotonin can have lower levels and these are associated with depressive thoughts, this would be a better fit. When a person is stressed, they are usually focused on what is stressing them out and steering away from what makes them happier and what they are interested in doing. Therefore, serotonin would most likely be depleted, which leaves us with option A.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<h2>               What can we conclude with this information?</h2><h2 />

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using our findings, we can finally come to the conclusion that:

  1. Testosterone is linked to aggression and would elevate in stressful scenarios.
  2. Serotonin would be depleted during stressful situations.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

A client arrived in the emergency department with a sharp object penetrating the diaphragm. This can be a serious injury, however, the cardinal signs and symptoms of an impaired gas exchange should identify as a priority.

The nurse would first assess the airway by observing for any respiratory distress or inappropriate cough. Other potential indicators are tingling/tingling sensation on the tongue and lips, inability to swallow, hoarseness, or voice changes.

Explanation:

The nurse could identify the priority nursing diagnosis as an abnormal breathing pattern. The nurse may need to alert the physician that this type of injury will cause impaired gas exchange, which can affect vital organs in the body.

The priority of nursing care is to stop the bleeding and assess for any underlying injuries. A nursing diagnosis of pain and anxiety might be appropriate if the client was found to be in severe pain, but not stress related. Since we know that diaphragm injuries can cause impeded gas exchange, it would make sense if this client exhibited signs of impaired gas exchange and had shortness of breath after the brief attempt at identifying their wound.

We talk about cardiogenic shock when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the entire body that is needs to.
