Barbara Joley met with a bus accident and was cyanotic. Her heart was beating fast but she was not respiring. Her pulse was examined to be running fast and thready. She suffers an injury in the C2 column of the vertebra.
Characters in the case:
Barbara Joley.
Adequate information:
The patient’s 7 to 9 ribs were fractured, the right thorax was compressed, and the right lung was atelectasis.

A secret service agent is responding to a threat at the White House and rushes the president to the underground bunker. After seeing the
president into the bunker the agent shuts the door and runs back upstairs to confront the assailants. On her way, she runs through toxic
gas coming out of a gas canister and suddenly starts gasping for air and feels her muscles becoming weak. She also notices the iron (Fe)
rail she is holding onto has severely rusted. What is the toxic gas most likely doing to the agent's hemoglobin (Hb) molecules?
Select one:
a. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the R state, with a current oxidation state of Fe3t.
b. None of these.
c. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state while also reducing the disulfide bonds of the Hb tetramer thus eventually
creating many non-functional Hb a/ß monomers.
d. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state, with a current oxidations state of Fe2+.
e. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state, with a current…
