Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Fingernail clubbing is a sign of hypoxia. Mental status will deteriorate as the oxygen level in the body diminishes. Apnea is present in Cheyne-Stokes respirations. Central cyanosis is not observed on the fingers and earlobes. The normal respiratory rate in an adult is more than 10 breaths/min.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Onset of action is within 5 minutes. Indacaterol is an ultra-long-acting beta 2 agonist.
Patients using inhaled bronchodilators should wait approximately 10 minutes. Duration of action is about 24 hours.
