Ans: A
Feedback:
Most respiratory disorders in infants produce a decrease in lung compliance or an increase airway resistance. Respiratory disorders increase the cellular demand for oxygen because the alveolarcapillary membrane is often impaired by the disease process. A compensatory tachypnea is an attempt to deliver more oxygenated blood to hypoxic lung tissue.
