Answer to Question 1

b. Restlessness

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Respiratory failure is defined as the inability of the respiratory system to maintain adequate oxygenation of the blood. In primary inefficient gas transfer, there is insufficient alveolar ventilation. Anemia, which is characterized by low hemoglobin levels, results in an inability to adequately oxygenate the blood. Pneumothorax and cystic fibrosis are examples of restrictive lung disease. Laryngospasm is an example of obstructive lung disease.
