B The cerebral cortex is responsible for the voluntary control of respirations, and accommodates speaking, eating, and swimming.
C The medulla oblongata is responsible for the automatic control of respirations, not voluntary control.
D Chemical regulation maintains the appropriate rate and depth of respirations but is not under voluntary control.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
One critical thinking model for spiritual health evaluation lists the evaluation process as including a review of the patient's self-perception regarding spiritual health, the patient's view of his/her purpose in life, discussion with the family and close associates about the patient's connectedness, and determining whether the patient's expectations are being met. Attainment of spiritual health is a lifelong goal.
