Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The patient with a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) will exhibit dyspnea and pain.
B Eupnea is normal, easy breathing. It would not be expected in the case of a pneumothorax.
C Fremitus is the vibration felt when the hand is placed on the patient's chest and the patient speaks (vocal fremitus). Fremitus would be decreased with a pneumothorax.
D Orthopnea is a condition in which the patient must use multiple pillows when lying down or must sit with the arms elevated and leaning forward to breathe.

Answer to Question 2

B
Daily values did not replace RDAs but provided a separate, more understandable format for the public. Daily values are based on percentages of a diet consisting of 2000 kcal/day; these values constitute the daily values used on food labels, which are easy for anyone to find. Computer experience is not required.
