Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The medulla in the brain stem, immediately above the spinal cord, is the respiratory center. Stretch receptors are located in muscles. Chemoreceptors that affect respirations are located in the aortic arch and the carotid bodies.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
If a chest tube becomes disconnected from the drainage unit, the nurse should submerge the end of the tube in a bottle of sterile water, thus preventing a pneumothorax but still allowing air to escape.
