Answer to Question 1

B
Diffusion is the movement of gases between air spaces and the bloodstream. One of the primary functions of the lungs includes ventilation, the movement of air in and out of the lungs. Respira-tion is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during cellular metabolism. The heart supports perfusion, the movement of blood into and out of the lungs to the organs and tissues of the body.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A tort is a cause of action in which one person asserts that a physical, emotional, or financial injury was a consequence of another person's actions or failure to act. A tort implies that a person breached his or her duty to another person. In this case, the nurse had a duty that was breached. A felony is a serious criminal offense, such as murder. Defamation is an act in which untrue information harms a person's reputation. Slander is a character attack uttered orally in the presence of others.
