Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
ARDS is a state of progressive oxygen deprivation following a serious illness or injury. Causes include aspiration, medication overdose, cardiac surgery (especially, bypass), pancreatitis, end-stage renal disease, embolism, major surgery, and trauma. The person is in acute respiratory failure and usually requires mechanical ventilation and blood pressure medications. If the cause can be determined, it can be treated. However, the mortality rate is greater than 50.
