C. thoroughly suction the stoma.
D. ventilate with less pressure.
B. seal the mouth and nose.
How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in patients with certain
respiratory problems?
Select one:

expansion.
B. It prevents alveolar collapse by pushing air into the lungs during inhalation.

C. It forces the alveoli open and increases the concentration of oxygen in the
alveoli.
D. It pushes thick, infected pulmonary secretions into isolated areas of the lung.
C. It forces the alveoli open and increases the concentration of oxygen in the
alveoli.
In the presence of oxygen, the cells convert glucose into energy through a process
called:
