ANS: A
Cheyne-Stokes respirations are characterized by alternating periods of deep and shallow breath-ing, with periods of apnea lasting from 15 to 60 seconds. Frank-Starling is related to the stretch of fibers. Apnea is cessation of respirations. Orthopnea is dyspnea that occurs when an individual lies flat.
