Answer to Question 1

C
A lower than normal PaO2 of about 60 mm Hg or less will stimulate the peripheral chemoreceptors. These chemoreceptors will not be stimulated by pain or anxiety, normal PaCO2, or normal venous pH.

Answer to Question 2

D
While Guillain-Barr syndrome can be found in males and females of any age and ethnicity, individuals over 45 year of age are most frequently affected.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
