The nurse knows that ventilation and respiration are key functions of the lungs. When referring to pulmonary function, respiration is defined as:a. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxideb. The movement of air in and out of the lungsc. How many times per minute a person breathesd. The movement of oxygen into the tissues2. When describing alveoli to a patient, which statement by the nurse indicates understanding of their function and structure:a. Alveoli are collection of sacs that resemble a complex matrix of solutesand solutions, and are responsible for transporting oxygenb. Alveoli are sacs that form together to resemble a cluster of grapes, andare responsible for facilitating gas exchangec. Alveoli are round and doughnut-shaped and are available when the lungs need extra tidal volumed. Alveoli are thin, filament-like structures that facilitate gas exchange in the lungs3. The nurse is taking care of a patient who is showing signs of metabolic acidosis. The nurse expects the body to compensate by:a. Hypoventilationb. Hyperventilationc. Increased work of breathingd. Decreased elasticity4. A patient is in the emergency room with a
