Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Lowering the primary solution container 10 in. below the height of the secondary solution uses gravity to infuse the secondary medication solution rather than the primary solution. Instilling the secondary infusion within the specified time is done by checking the drop factor on the package of secondary tubing and calculating the rate for infusion. The nurse does not regulate the rate of infusion by means of raising or lowering the secondary bag.

Answer to Question 2

C
The function that provides the body with a means of gas exchange is respiration.
