Each year around 358,000 women die because of complications during pregnancy or childbirth and many more encounter serious problems (WHO, 2012). The vast majority of these problems occur in low-income countries, where poverty increases sickness and reduces access to care. These deaths occur within a context of gender-based, economic, political and cultural discrimination and neglect of women’s right to equal status and equitable access to services. Nearly all of these deaths are preventable because the majority of deaths are caused by hemorrhages, sepsis, hypertensive disorders, prolonged or obstructed labor, and unsafe abortions (Rosenfield, & Maine, 1985).

Answer:
The correct answer is c. partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) in arterial blood.
Explanation:
Ventilation is a term generally used to designate the movement of air in and out of the lungs, that is, alveolar ventilation is the volume of air that reaches the alveoli in one minute and participates in gas exchange. Carbon dioxide partial pressure (PCO2) consists of analyzing the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide in the blood, just like with pO2. Normal results range from 35mmHg to 45mmHg. If the level is low it may indicate respiratory alkalosis; if the level is high it may indicate respiratory acidosis. It can only be analyzed in arterial blood.
A carcinogen is defined as an agent (e.g. chemical) that can increase the risk of cancer.
Exposure to the carcinogens present in tobacco smoke increases the risk of developing cancer.
It causes lung cancer.
