Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sodium and calcium are electrolytes. P50 is the partial pressure of oxygen at 50 saturation. HHb is deoxygenated hemoglobin, and HCO3 is bicarbonate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Find 80 mm Hg on the x-axis of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, and draw a straight ver-tical line up to the dissociation curve. Then from that point, draw a horizontal line across to the y-axis. That will give the saturation.
