A 40-year-old client visits the clinic for respiratory difficulty. He tells you that he has been a chain-smoker for the last 20 years. What information would you provide to such a client? Give reasons for your answer.
Ischemic hypoxia is the result of:
inability of the cells to use oxygen
compromised oxygen transport due to blockage or constriction of blood vessels
substitution of oxygen by another substance, e.g. carbon monoxide
compromised ability of oxygen tansport due to low hemoglobin
low environmental oxygen

Group of answer choices choose one answer Carbon monoxide is toxic because it binds more readily to hemoglobin than oxygen, thereby decreasing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. As the carbon dioxide content of blood increases, a phenomenon known as the Haldane effect converts the excess carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide until it reaches toxic levels. Carbon monoxide is toxic because it readily picks up oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, causing acidosis and eventual death. Carbon monoxide causes the carbamino effect where carbon dioxide is stripped of an oxygen, producing carbon monoxide.arrow_forward
