(Answer to Q. 1)  D
All of the listed symptoms are associated with myasthenia gravis.

(Answer to Q. 2)  A
African-American women in the 20- to 30-year age group are the most likely people to get sarcoidosis.

(Answer to Q. 3)  C
Hypoventilation from any cause will cause hypoxic hypoxia because an inadequate amount of oxygen is breathed in. Cyanide poisoning will cause histotoxic hypoxia because the tissue cells will not be able to metabolize oxygen. Decreased cardiac output or heart failure will cause circulatory hypoxia because the heart will not deliver enough blood and oxygen to the tissues. Carbon monoxide poisoning will cause anemic hypoxia because the hemoglobin cannot carry oxygen.

(Answer to Q. 4)  D
Emphysematous lung changes would cause overinflation and be identified by an increased RV/TLC ratio, an increased functional residual capacity (FRC), and increased residual volume (RV).

(Answer to Q. 5)  B
Patients with 1-antitrypsin deficiency are at risk of developing panlobular emphysema, which primarily affects the lower portions of the lungs.

(Answer to Q. 6)  D
Females of any ethnic background between ages 15 and 35 years and males of any ethnic background between 40 and 70 years of age are the most likely groups to develop myasthenia gravis.
