Which of the following is true of the oxygen dissociation curve?
 
  a. The normal partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) at which hemoglobin is 50 saturated is 20 mm Hg.
  b. A shift to the right or left in response to blood pH is called the Bohr effect.
  c. A shift to the left results in lower oxygen affinity.
  d. A shift to the right results in less effective delivery of oxygen to tissue.

Question 2

The reference range for hemoglobin concentration:
 
  a. Is lower in a newborn than in a male adult
  b. Is lower in a newborn than in a female adult

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Bohr effect describes the shift in position of the oxygen dissociation curve in response to blood pH; a decrease in pH (acidosis) shifts the curve to the right and results in a decreased oxygen affinity and more effective oxygen delivery. A decrease in pH (alkalosis) is the reverse: the curve shifts to the left resulting in increased oxygen affinity and less effective delivery of oxygen to tissue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The reference range for hemoglobin concentration is higher in a newborn than in either an adult man or woman. In adults, it is higher in men than in women.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
