Answer to Question 1

C
Type I respiratory failure is also called oxygenation failure. It is characterized by decreased PaO2, an increased P(A-a)O2 gradient, and a decreased PaO2/FIO2 ratio.

Answer to Question 2

A
Small cell lung cancer is also known as oat cell carcinoma because the cancer cells have a compressed, oval shape.
