Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Contraction of a flat diaphragm tends to draw in the lateral costal margins, instead of expanding them (Hoover's sign), and does little to help move air into the thorax.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis often breathe with a deep and rapid pattern, which is called Kussmaul breathing.
