Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Farmers are exposed to pesticides every day while they are preparing the land for farming and while crops are growing. Working in a hospital may increase the risk for colds and influenza but does not increase the risk for chronic pulmonary disease. Air traffic controllers and band members are not more likely to have increased risk of chronic pulmonary disease.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
ABGs are done to assess alterations in acidbase balance caused by respiratory disorders, metabolic disorders, or both. A bronchoscopy provides visualization of internal respiratory structures. Sputum studies can provide specific information about bacterial organisms. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive test that evaluates the oxygen saturation level of blood.
