A condition that will cause hypoxic hypoxia is:
a. cyanosis.
b. decreased cardiac output or heart failure.
c. hypoventilation from an overdose of a sedative medication.
d. carbon monoxide poisoning.
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.
