Answer to Question 1

2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Young adults are not usually at risk for poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Ventilation is the process of inspiration and expiration that brings air into the lungs, while respiration requires the gases to pass through the alveolar capillary membrane and enter the bloodstream, which requires an adequate blood supply to the alveoli. A client with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis would have weakened muscles, and the inability of the chest to expand and contract properly would interfere with ventilation. Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary emboli impact blood supply due to elevated pressure in the pulmonary vasculature, so it would cause a diffusion problem. Emphysema damages the pulmonary/capillary bed and interferes with diffusion, complicated by increased secretions that block the passage of gases in the alveoli.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
