Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Neonates are obligate nose-breathers, so the mouth and nose are the most accurate location, be-cause it is the area closest to the nares.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Carbogen is used to treat hiccups and carbon monoxide poisoning; furthermore, it is used as a stimulant/depressant of ventilation and to prevent the complete washout of CO2 during cardio-pulmonary bypass.
