Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The ventilation/perfusion ratio is not the strength with which a person can blow a stream of air.
B Incorrect. The ventilation/perfusion ratio is not a comparison of oxygen in the body with that in the heart.
C Correct. The ventilation/perfusion ratio is the comparison of alveolar ventilation to capillary perfusion. This ratio becomes abnormal in the patient with pneumonia as the toxins released by pathogens and the by-products of the body's secondary and tertiary defenses both do damage to the pulmonary mucous membranes and cause the accumulation of debris and exudate in the airways.
D Incorrect. The ventilation/perfusion ratio is not how quickly the oxygen taken in circulates once through the body.

A Incorrect. Pneumonia in children is not more primitive nor easier to cure than in adults.

C Incorrect. Pneumonia in children does not appear as a tertiary disease.
D Correct. Pneumonia in children can appear as a primary disease or as a complication of another dysfunction.
