The nurse, teaching a class on smoking cessation to a group of
middle-aged adults, presents the adverse effects of smoking,
which include nicotine:
A. acts to stimulate the heart.
B. calms the central nervous system.
C. assists in decreasing blood pressure.
D. causes a decrease in carbon monoxide. - A. acts to stimulate
the heart.
Nicotine acts in the two divisions of the nervous system to
affect the central part of the brain and the spinal cord, and the
peripheral portion that controls the arms and legs. Nicotine
stimulates the heart, leading to an increased pulse and elevated
blood pressure. Although smokers frequently believe that

cigarettes have a calming effect, this notion is misleading.
Nicotine stimulates the body, whereas increasing levels of
carbon monoxide causes lethargy. Smokers may feel calm,
although they are actually having their sensations dulled by the
elevated level of carbon monoxide.

exceeding the rate of bone matrix synthesis is called:

Osteopenia is a condition of subnormally mineralized bone,
usually as a result of a rate of bone lysis that exceeds the rate of

posterior spine that is sometimes referred to as "hunchback."
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that influences
activity and endurance and is most frequently seen in the knees
and hands. Osteoporosis is a disorder characterized by
abnormal loss of bone density and deterioration of bone tissue,
with an increased fracture risk. It occurs most frequently in

Some suggested activities for the middle-aged adult include
brisk walking, jogging, swimming, bicycling, and skipping rope
as well as walking or biking to work. Activities that focus on skill
and coordination should be attempted by the adult over age 40
rather than activities necessitating speed and strength.

recommended for adults nearing age 65 to prevent muscle
strains and/or falls, etc. Overexertion, as evidenced by dizziness,
chest pressure or chest pain, and unresolved shortness of
breath should be avoided. Also, in hot weather, strenuous
exercise should be balanced with rest periods and increased
intake of fluids to prevent heat stroke.
