Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
P(Aa)O2 increases to 100 to 150 mm Hg when the person is breathing 100 O2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Murray lung injury score quantifies the injury level using four factors: chest radiographic findings, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting, and compliance.
