Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: During expired air resuscitation (mouth-to-mouth, mouth-to-mask, or mouth-to-nose), measuring the delivered Vt is impractical. The general guideline is to continue inspiration until a rise of the patient's chest wall can be visualized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: PMV patients have reported an array of symptoms that health care providers often underappreciate. Therefore effective symptom palliation is an essential component in the care of PMV patients. The care entails the awareness of common symptoms such as thirst, dyspnea, pain, and anxiety. A special challenge to provide palliation includes giving sedatives, analgesics, and other pharmacologic interventions without compromising wakefulness, airway clearance, and strength.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B
