A) Dry mouth is secondary to inhibition of the parasympathetic nervous system; therefore assessment findings would reveal dry oral mucous membranes. Inhibition of the parasympathetic nervous system leads to decreased peristalsis; therefore assessment findings would indicate hypoactive bowel sounds. Increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and depth of respirations are all due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation.
