particles moving toward the oropharynx?
Question 1 options:
a) Nasal turbinates
b) Alveolar macrophages
c) Cilia
d) Irritant receptors on the nares
Question 2
Stretch receptors and peripheral chemoreceptors send afferent impulses
regarding ventilation to which location in the brain?
Question 2 options:
a) Pneumotaxic center in the pons
b) Apneustic center in the pons
c) Dorsal respiratory group (DRG) in the medulla oblongata
d) Ventral respiratory group (VRG) in the medulla oblongata
, Question 3
If a patient develops acidosis, the nurse would expect the oxyhemoglobin
dissociation curve to react in which manner?
Question 3 options:
Shift to the right, causing more oxygen (O2) to be released to the cells

Show no change, allowing the oxygen (O2) concentration to remain stable
Show dramatic fluctuation, allowing the oxygen (O2) concentration to increase
Question 4

Question 4 options:
Attached to oxygen (O2)
In the form of bicarbonate
Combined with albumin
Dissolved in the plasma
