Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Application of the social sciences is helpful in determining the psychological, social, and voca-tional impact of the disability on the patient and family and in establishing ways to improve the patient's quality-of-life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
As excess lactic acid is buffered, CO2 levels rise and the stimulus to breathe increases. The result is an abrupt upswing in both CO2 and VE (referred to as the ventilatory threshold, or VT).
