Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The main goal in correcting respiratory acidosis is to improve alveolar ventilation. This may entail various respiratory care modalities ranging from bronchial hygiene and lung expansion techniques to endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hypoxemia causes specialized neural structures to signal the brain, increasing ventilation (see Chapter 14). Anxiety, fever, stimulatory drugs, pain, and central nervous system injuries are pos-sible causes of hyperventilation.
