Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pulses are the fluid wave through the blood vessel as a result of each heartbeat. Therefore, they should be the same.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cheyne-Stokes respirations are a pattern of respirations that gradually increase in rate and depth, with periods of apnea. Dyspnea is defined as distress during breathing. Tachypnea is an increased respiratory rate. In seesaw respirations, the chest falls on inspiration and rises on expiration.
