Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The correlation between capillary and arterial pH and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) measurements is better than the correlation between capillary and arterial partial pressure of oxy-gen (PO2) measurements. Consequently, capillary blood gases are more often used to discern ac-id-base balance rather than to assess a patient's oxygenation status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The order for the modified Allen test is as follows: (1) the hand is clenched into a tight fist; (2) pressure is applied to both the radial and ulnar arteries; (3) the hand is opened but not fully ex-tended; (4) the palm and fingers are blanched; and (5) pressure on the ulnar artery is re-movedthis should result in flushing of the entire hand.
