Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Reduced hydrogen ion concentrations in the blood are often accompanied by hypokalemia. The other answers are problems that hypoventilation can induce.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Overdistention of the lungs causes the release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, tu-mor necrosis factor, platelet-activating factor, thromboxane-B2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-1B. Macrophages are the actual source of some of these mediators.
