Answer to Question 1

C
Emphysema, the leading cause of respiratory death in the United States, develops slowly over time. Manifestations include increasing dyspnea in response to activity, corresponding to the degree of hypoxia; development of a ruddy complexion and a barrel-shaped chest; increased respiratory rate; and difficulty with expiration.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Low blood pressure can lead to loss or balance or loss of consciousness, leading to falls. Arm surgery, diabetes, and anticoagulants are not frequently implicated in older adults' falls.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
