Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Too little carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood is called respiratory alkalosis and is most commonly caused by hyperventilation (excessively rapid, deep breathing), but can also be caused by overuse of antacids or can be related to early pulmonary edema or pulmonary embolism. Respiratory acidosis can be caused by airway obstruction in disorders such as emphysema, severe pneumonia, asthma, and pulmonary edema, as well as in drug overdose. Untreated respiratory acidosis is life-threatening. Metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis does not occur with hyperventilation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Magicoreligious: The belief that supernatural forces dominate. Scientific/biomedical: The belief that physical and biomedical processes can be studied and manipulated to control life. Holistic medicine: The belief that the forces of nature must be kept balanced. Yinyang and hotcold theories: The belief that illness develops when life forces are out of balance.
