Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Cheyne-Stokes respirations occur as a result of CO2 levels in the blood. Ataxic breathing occurs as a result of dysfunction of the medullary neurons. Central neurogenic patterns occur as a result of uncal herniation. Normal respirations are based on the levels of oxygen (O2) in the blood.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Vomiting is due to disruptions in the medulla oblongata. Skull fractures can result in vomiting but would not be related to the mass. The thalamus controls other things such as temperature. The frontal lobe deals with emotions.
