Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Inadequate ventilation decreases the amount of carbon dioxide excreted by the lungs. This causes a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, which is hypercapnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Cardiopulmonary Venturi applies a negative pressure to the airway only during the very be-ginning of the exhalation phase. This facilitates removal of air from the patient circuit and is in-tended to reduce the resistance to exhalation throughout the circuit at the start of exhalation.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
