Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Any physiologic process that lowers the arterial PCO2 (<35 mm hg) and raises the arterial ph (>7.45) produces respiratory alkalosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The most common cause of hyperventilation in patients with pulmonary disease is probably a low arterial PO2 (hypoxemia).
