Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Stiffer lungs tend to collapse and also cause their alveoli to collapse. This condition is called atelectasis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The newborn's breathing pattern is characterized by occasional pauses of several seconds between breaths. This periodic breathing is normal during the first 3 months of life, but frequent or prolonged periods of apnea (cessation of breathing 20 seconds or longer) are abnormal. Dyspnea refers to a shortness of breath. Orthopnea refers to difficulty breathing when lying flat. An elevation of carbon dioxide levels in the blood is termed hypercapnea.
