Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The effect of increased ambient pressure on the partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PAO2) can be explained by Dalton's law, which states that the total pressure of a gas mixture, such as air, equals the sum of the partial pressures of each of the constituent gases in the mixture. According to Gay-Lussac's law, if the volume of a gas remains constant, there is a direct relationship be-tween the absolute pressure of a gas and its temperature. It is reasonable to suggest that if the volume of a hyperbaric chamber remains constant, then increasing the pressure would raise the temperature inside of the chamber.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy exposes patients to a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure while they breathe 100 oxygen, either continuously or intermittently.
