Answer to Question 1

C
The medical record may also contain advance directives and signed forms that indicate a client's informed consent to procedures. There is no legal requirement for informed consent to be written.

Answer to Question 2

D
Respiratory alkalosis is caused by hyperventilation, which can be precipitated by anxiety, fear, pain, fever, rapid mechanical ventilation, hypoxia at high altitudes, or by disease conditions such as brain tumors. In respiratory alkalosis, the blood pH is above 7.45 and the partial carbon dioxide level is less than 35 mmHg.
