Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: Cardiac output is a factor that affects the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues.
Rationale 2: Exercise is a factor that affects the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues.
Rationale 3: Diet is not a factor that affects the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues.
Rationale 4: Erythrocyte count is a factor that affects the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues.
Rationale 5: Hematocrit level is a factor that affects the rate of oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: An increase in carbon dioxide level will increase, not decrease, respirations.
Rationale 2: Of the three blood gaseshydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxidethat can trigger chemoreceptors, increased carbon dioxide concentration normally has the strongest effect on stimulating respiration.
Rationale 3: An increase in carbon dioxide level might not increase the client's blood pressure.
Rationale 4: An increase in carbon dioxide level has no effect on the client's bowel sounds.
