Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Exposure of the PO2 electrode to nitrous oxide might alter its electronic output by increasing the production of peroxide ions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The pH is measured directly by using a Sanz electrode. The PaO2 is measured directly by using a Clark electrode. The HCO3 is derived from measurements of pH and PaCO2 is derived by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The saturation of hemoglobin can be calculated by using an equation empirically derived from the oxyhemoglobin saturation curve.
