Answer to Question 1

d
Rationale: a. This answer best describes a venture mask.
b. Intubation is the best choice when a patient can not protect or maintain their airway.
c. Incorrect.
d. Correct.

Answer to Question 2

Exhalation begins when the diaphragm relaxes, resuming its resting dome shape. The elastic tissue of the lungs also recoils. Together, these actions make the chest cavity smaller. The pressure inside the chest cavity rises, and air is forced out.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
