Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although home care remains the most common alternative site for providing health care, a host of other postacute care settings, including subacute, rehabilitation, and SNFs, provides respiratory care to patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Potential hazards include the following: (1) cardiovascular abnormalities, such as cardiac ar-rhythmias (can be reduced with supplemental oxygen during exercise) and systemic hypotension and hypertension tension; (2) blood gas abnormalities (arterial desaturation, hypercapnia, and ac-idosis); and (3) muscular abnormalities (functional or structural injuries, diaphragmatic fatigue and failure, and exercise-induced muscle contracture).
