Inadequate breathing will eventually result in death.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not enough information
• D. Partially true

Answer: (A)

Adequate ventilation is essential for delivering oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide. When breathing is inadequate, oxygen intake falls and carbon dioxide builds up. The brain and heart are especially sensitive to low oxygen levels, and without sufficient oxygen, cells cannot produce energy, leading to organ dysfunction. If inadequate breathing continues, respiratory failure can develop and death can occur. So this statement is true: without timely correction, inadequate breathing will eventually lead to death. In practice, prompt airway support and ventilation with oxygen can prevent this outcome.
