Answer:

B. Sucking chest wound

Explanation:

A sucking chest wound occurs when a hole, of the size of a coin, is created in the chest cavity that protects the lungs, resulting in the collapse of the lung. Such hole can be created from injuries that involve the puncturing of the chest cavity by foreign objects such as from gunshot, stabs etc. When the lung becomes collapse as a result of a puncture in the chest cavity, the individual would try hard to suck for air while breathing. As the individual breathes in and out, hissing or sucking sound can be heard. Coughing out of blood may be observed too.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Evaluating her pulmonary hypertension and scheduling her for a sleep study was the correct procedure, however the clinic should test her for peripheral edema too.

Explanation:

If a patient has a cronic ilness as pulmonary hypertension, she must be tested for peripheral edema to avoid another complications such as pulmonary embolism. She arrived at the clinic showing lower extremity swelling.

Even though she had an echocardiogram, the physicians should dig a little deaper and investigate her heart condition as well.

Otherwise, she wil have a blockage of an artery in the lungs and have shortness of breath, chest pain, which leads to coughin up blood , fast heart rate and sudden death.

The simple fact that her swelling was solved by diuretics, do not mean she is out of danger.

saw5 [17]
The main factor that controls the rate of breathing is..
A.) concentration of carbon dioxide. 

If we think about it.. When we breath in oxygen, right away it enters your lungs and turns into carbon dioxide. Well since your lungs need to process oxygen and bring oxygen into the blood stream. Then as soon as the oxygen comes inside (inhale) the oxygen turns into carbon dioxide and you breath it out (exhale) to get a new oxygen load. 

Makes sense? lol

Good Luck! :)
