Answer to Question 1

C
When atelectasis occurs, the chest radiograph will show increased opacity.

Answer to Question 2

A
A blood gas analyzer measures the pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood plasma. Oxygen is chemically bound to the hemoglobin in the erythrocytes and is measured by an oximeter as the saturation, not as a partial pressure. Leukocytes do not carry oxygen.
