Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by progressive loss of lung compliance and increasing hypoxia. Anoxia is a lack of oxygen to the body. ARDS will cause decreased oxygen (hypoxia). ARDS does not cause hypocapnia or hypercapnia, which is too little or too much carbon dioxide, respectively.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Patients receiving anticholinergic drugs must be monitored for dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, constipation, urinary retention, tachycardia, pupil dilation and photophobia, cycloplegia and blurring of vision, and heat intolerance caused by a decrease in sweating.
