Answer to Question 1

B
Respiratory muscle function is affected by skeletal muscle and peripheral muscle strength. During aging, skeletal muscle progressively atrophies, and its energy metabolism decreases, which may partially explain the declining strength of the respiratory muscles.

Answer to Question 2

C
Lecture is not the strategy of choice for this situation; it does not work well in the ICU. Teaching must be done at the bedside by using as many of the senses as possible. Written material, discussion, demonstration, and use of media are common teaching strategies used in the ICU.
