Answer to Question 1

B
Decreased lung expansion, generalized respiratory muscle weakness, and stasis of secretions oc-cur with immobility. These conditions often contribute to the development of atelectasis (collapse of alveoli) and hypostatic pneumonia (inflammation of the lung from stasis or pooling of secretions).

Answer to Question 2

C
Family forms are changing. Couples are choosing to delay having children or to have no children at all. Single parents constitute 26 of all families with children.
