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.

Answer:4. "I should avoid the use of salt substitutes containing potassium."

Explanation:

Salt substitute potassium are salt substitutes which contains "potassium chloride" alone or mixed with regular salt which is "sodium chloride", these are available as a way to cut back sodium intake which contributes to high blood pressure. However in this patient, taking salt substitute potassium could pose a health risk because lisinopril raises blood potassium levels, therefore concurrent use of lisinopril and salt substitute potassium would further increase the blood levels of potassium (hyperkalemia) which could cause side effects like irregular heart rhythm and in severe cases lead to kidney failure, muscle paralysis, cardiac arrest.
