7. The reason people become hospitalized when they havepneumonia is because the inflammation from the infection causes thealveoli to swell, making it harder for oxygen to diffuse into theblood. The patient ends up with dangerously low oxygen levels intheir blood and need to be hooked up to an oxygen machine. True orFalse
