Which endogenous opioid is located in the hypothalamus and pituitary and is a strong μ-receptor agonist? a. Enkephalins b. Endorphins c. Dynorphins d. Endomorphins 6. When caring for a person who has experienced pain for 3 days, anxiety is likely to produce which physical signs that a NP would expect to find? a. Fever and muscle weakness or reports of fatigue b. Irritability and depression or reports of constipation c. Decreased blood pressure or reports of fatigue d. Increased heart rate and respiratory rate with diaphoresis 7. Enkephalins and endorphins act to relieve pain by which process? a. Inhibiting cells in the substantia gelatinosa b. Stimulating the descending efferent nerve fibers c. Attaching to opiate receptor sites d. Blocking transduction of nociceptors 8. Using a fan to reduce body temperature is an example of which mechanism of heat loss? a. Evaporation b. Radiation c. Convection d. Conduction 9. Up to how many liters of fluid per hour may be lost by sweating? a. 2 b. 4 c. 6 d. 8 10. Which hormones help diminish the febrile response? a. Arginine vasopressin (AVP), melanocyte-stimulating hormone-alpha (a-MSH), and corticotropin-releasing factor b. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone, and thyroxine (T4) c.
