Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, B, C

Feedback:

Children with impending respiratory failure due to airway or lung disease have rapid breathing; exaggerated use of the accessory muscles; retractions, which are more pronounced in the child than in an adult because of more compliant chest; nasal flaring; and grunting during expiration. Inspiratory wheezes are usually associated with asthma. Swollen glottis can occur with strep throat.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, which has a lower effective osmolality than the ICF, they swell as water moves into the cell, and when they are placed in a hypertonic solution, which has a greater effective osmolality than the ICF, they shrink as water is pulled out of the cell.
