Answer to Question 1

3. Heart rate 72 and regular

Rationale:
Evidence of successful treatment for hypothermia is a heart rate of 72 and regular. The other findings indicate a continued low body temperature.

Answer to Question 2

A
The first step in the process of oxygenation is ventilation, which is the movement of air into and out of the lungs for the purpose of delivering fresh air into the lung's alveoli. The next step is alveolar gas exchange. Then the oxygen is transported in the blood to the general circulation.
