Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Laboratory findings of uncompensated metabolic acidosis include lowered plasma pH (<7.35) and diminished plasma bicarbonate concentration (normal HCO3 is 2226).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An excess of endogenous insulin can delay surfactant production and delays maturation of alveolar cells. Glucocorticosteroid s, thyroxine, and prolactin enhance lung development.
