Question Review

Added on 12/29/2012

1.		"Your brother seems to pink-up when we give him extra air."
2.		"The extra oxygen helps relieve the bradykinesia by decreasing the carbon dioxide."
3.		"The extra oxygen helps relieve the pressure in his brain by decreasing the carbon dioxide."
4.		"Your brother seems less congested when we give him extra air."

Explanation

Increasing intracranial pressure is aggravated by hypercarbia and suctioning should not be done for longer than 10 seconds. The other three options are not appropriate. Omit options 1 and 4 as they refer to extra "air" as opposed to extra oxygen. Omit option 2 as bradykinesia is not the reason for increasing oxygen.
