Answer to Question 1

A
Patients who are anemic do not have the same level of oxygen-carrying capacity. As a result, oxygen is unable to properly perfuse the tissues, resulting in hypoxemia. Impaired ventilation occurs when oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange occurs at the alveolar level. Hypovolemia is related to decreased circulating blood volume. Lung compliance is related to the elasticity of the lung tissue.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
All of the interventions listed are direct care interventions involving patient and nurse interaction, except documenting wound care. Documenting wound care is an example of an indirect intervention.
