Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Rather than equaling the alveolar PO2, the PaO2 of healthy individuals breathing air at sea level is always approximately 5 to 10 mm Hg less than the calculated PAO2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To assess tissue gas exchange, the respiratory therapist must consider mixed venous blood pa-rameters. The use of mixed venous blood to assess tissue oxygenation also is discussed in Chap-ter 43.
