Answer to Question 1

C
Kussmaul respirations, or deep and rapid respirations, are blowing off carbon dioxide to reduce an acidotic state.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nursing assistants are not assigned to patients who have an unstable condition. Care of an unsta-ble patient does not fall into the scope of practice of the unlicensed personnel.
