Answer to Question 1

ANS: AA. Correct response: A rectangular pressure waveform is accompanied by an exponentially rising volume waveform and an exponentially decaying (declining) flow waveform. The volume rises exponentially to a value equal to the product of the lung compliance and the difference between the PIP and the PEEP. That is,
volume = CL (PIP  PEEP)
L = L/cm H2O (cm H2O)
The inspiratory flow declines exponentially from its peak level, which is equal to the difference between change in airway pressure multiplied by the airway resistance. Hence,
flow = Raw  (PIP  PEEP)
L/sec = cm H2O/L/sec  (cm H2O)

B. Incorrect response: The choice has the waveforms opposite of what they actually are.
C. Incorrect response: When the pressure waveform is sinusoidal, the volume and flow waveforms are also sinusoidal.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation for choice A above.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: DI. Incorrect response: None of the ventilator waveforms is hyperbolic.
II. Correct response: The most common types of waveform produced by mechanical ventilators are:
  Rectangular
  Ramp
  Exponential
  Sinusoidal
III. Correct response: See explanation II.
IV. Correct response: See explanation II

When blood is deoxygenated and flowing back to the heart through the veins, it is dark reddish-blue in color. Blood in the arteries that is oxygenated and flowing out to the body is bright red. Whereas arterial blood comes out in spurts, venous blood flows.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
