Question 1
Stretch receptors and peripheral chemoreceptors send afferent impulses regarding ventilation to which location in the brain?
◦ Pneumotaxic center in the pons
◦ Apneustic center in the pons
◦ Dorsal respiratory group (DRG) in the medulla oblongata
◦ Ventral respiratory group (VRG) in the medulla oblongata
Question 2
If a patient develops acidosis, the nurse would expect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to react in which manner?
◦ Shift to the right, causing more oxygen (O
2) to be released to the cells
