Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Laryngospasm is a partial or complete closure of the vocal cords and an involuntary reflex action that can be precipitated by airway obstruction, asthma, vagal reflex, and movement of the head or neck.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The body compensates for mild hypoxia by increasing both the heart and respiratory rate, allowing oxygen to be brought to blood and tissues at a faster rate.
