  B)
  acute renal failure.
  C)

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

In addition to a steady rise in end-tidal carbon dioxide levels, an initial sign of the disorder, when the condition occurs during anesthesia, is skeletal muscle rigidity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The resistance of the bed in a supine position limits lung expansion and, ultimately, oxygenation. Inactivity does not increase oxygen demand, and patients tend to breathe more shallowly. The goal is to use abdominal muscles less and the chest cage more.
