While talking to your partner one day in between emergency calls, he tells you he has recently read a CE article on pulmonary embolisms. Which of these statements indicates that your partner understands the underlying pathophysiology of how a pulmonary emboli can cause hypoxia?
A) "During an embolic process, the alveoli become inflamed and the walls of the alveoli thicken and prevent oxygen transfer, resulting in hypoxia." B) "A pulmonary emboli occurs when a small bronchiole of a lung becomes plugged by mucus or a clot in the bloodstream, blocking the movement of air into the alveoli, which results in hypoxia." C) "The primary cause of a pulmonary emboli is a blood clot from the legs that lodges in the pulmonary veins and prevents blood exiting the alveolar capillary beds from reaching the heart." D) "When the pulmonary vasculature becomes blocked by an emboli, then blood cannot reach the alveoli for gas exchange, and hypoxia can result."
