Answer to Question 1

4
Factors that cause increased affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin will shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left. These factors include alkalemia and hypothermia. Arterial pH less than 7.35, increased leaves of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, and hyperthermia indicate a shift to the right, not the left.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5
When choosing a surgeon, a client should consider board certification, graduation from a reputable school of medicine, personality and bedside manner, and the opinion of others through word of mouth. Where the office is located and the car the physician drives are not signs of the surgeon's talent.
