A patient has restrictive lung disease. In response to this, which of the following are typically found?
1. Decreased lung compliance
2. Increased ventilatory rate
3. Increased tidal volume
4. Decreased ventilatory rate
a. 3, 4
b. 2, 3
c. 1, 2
d. 1, 3, 4
C
Restrictive lung disorders result in an increase in lung rigidity, which in turn decreases lung compliance. When lung compliance decreases, the ventilatory rate increases and the tidal volume decreases.

Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)
1. When water flows through a square-edged circular orifice, a contraction occurs, forming a jet with minimum diameter a short distance from the inside edge of the orifice. 2. If the water level on the discharge side of the orifice rises above the orifice, it is called a submerged orifice. 3. A type of rectangular weir that is commonly used as the spillway for a dam is the Cipoletti weir. 4. A gate is an opening in an impoundment, usually for the purpose of allowing drawdown or emptying of the impoundment. 5. Weirs are used to provide flow from one reservoir to another if an obstruction is located between them.
