Answer to Question 1

C
Emphysema, the leading cause of respiratory death in the United States, develops slowly over time. Manifestations include increasing dyspnea in response to activity, corresponding to the degree of hypoxia; development of a ruddy complexion and a barrel-shaped chest; increased respiratory rate; and difficulty with expiration.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Low blood pressure can lead to loss or balance or loss of consciousness, leading to falls. Arm surgery, diabetes, and anticoagulants are not frequently implicated in older adults' falls.
