Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Reduced hydrogen ion concentrations in the blood are often accompanied by hypokalemia. The other answers are problems that hypoventilation can induce.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Overdistention of the lungs causes the release of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, tu-mor necrosis factor, platelet-activating factor, thromboxane-B2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-1B. Macrophages are the actual source of some of these mediators.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
