Answer to Question 1

A
Clinically, the presence of mild hypoxemia generally stimulates the oxygen peripheral chemoreceptors to increase the patient's breathing rate and heart rate; consequently blood pressure may slightly increase, not decrease. Cardiac dysrhythmias would not be expected with mild hypoxemia. Anemia is unrelated to mild hypoxemia.

Answer to Question 2

D
All of the listed options may be required to help in the treatment and management of a patient with myasthenia gravis.
