Enhanced academic performance
Correct Answer : A,B,E

B. Greater incidence of accidental injuries is often a result of risk-taking behaviors, which can be influenced by feelings of invulnerability.
C. Reduced mental health issues is incorrect as feelings of invulnerability can lead to increased stress and anxiety, negatively impacting mental health.
D. Improved social relationships are not guaranteed; feelings of invulnerability may actually lead to conflict or isolation if risk-taking behaviors are harmful.
E. Higher likelihood of substance abuse can result from a belief in invulnerability, leading adolescents to underestimate the risks associated with drug and alcohol use.
F. Enhanced academic performance is not directly linked to feelings of invulnerability and may suffer due to distractions from risky behaviors.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) typically has identifiable P waves; the absence of P waves suggests a different condition.
B. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular rhythm, inability to identify P waves, and varying intervals. This interpretation aligns with the client's ECG findings.
C. Sinus bradycardia would show identifiable P waves and a regular rhythm with a heart rate less than 60 bpm, which does not match the provided information.
D. First-degree heart block would also show identifiable P waves and regularity in the rhythm with a prolonged PR interval, which is not indicated here.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Distributive shock, particularly in the context of anaphylaxis, is characterized by widespread vasodilation that leads to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and impaired blood flow to organs despite normal or increased cardiac output.
B. This option is incorrect because distributive shock involves decreased systemic vascular resistance due to vasodilation rather than an increase.
C. This statement describes hypovolemic shock, not distributive shock. Distributive shock is not primarily caused by the loss of blood volume.
D. While loss of myocardial contractility can lead to cardiogenic shock, it is not the mechanism behind distributive shock, which is related to vascular tone rather than heart function.
