Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The figure shows a turbine flowmeter, handheld respirometer, which is used to measure tidal volume and minute volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Several studies have shown that patients with severe sepsis have respiratory quotients of ap-proximately 0.7 because of their reliance on lipid metabolism for energy and an inability to use carbohydrates.
