Answer to Question 1

A
Aspirin causes an increase in carbon dioxide; the body compensates for this by increasing ventilations to blow off excess CO2 . Hypoventilation would cause the body to retain even more carbon dioxide and therefore respiratory acidosis. Flail chest occurs with trauma to the chest wall. Shallow respirations would increase serum pH.

Answer to Question 2

A
