Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
During expiration, the carbon dioxide is expelled. Poor exhalation that occurs with hyperventilation leads to retention of carbon dioxide. Pleurisy results in pleuritic pain. This client is not at risk for developing congestive heart failure. The client's oxygen capacity at this time is increased.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Clients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often have barrel chests. Aging can result in a barrel chest. Funnel chest is a congenital deformity characterized by depression of the sternum and adjacent costal cartilage. Pigeon chest is a congenital deformity that is characterized by forward displacement of the sternum with depression of the adjacent costal cartilage. Scoliosis is a condition in which there is lateral curvature and rotation of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
