Answer to Question 1

ANS:
a, d, f, c, e, b

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
50
A peak expiratory flow rate of red (<50 of personal best) signals a medical alert. Severe airway narrowing may be occurring. A short-acting bronchodilator should be administered. Notify the practitioner if the peak expiratory flow rate does not return immediately and stay in yellow or green zones.
