Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All ventilator-assisted individuals (VAIs) require a self-inflating manual resuscitator. Patients who are totally dependent on a ventilator and use a wheelchair need a transport ventilator for their wheelchair and as a backup ventilator. This patient does not require oxygen; therefore, an oxygen cylinder is not necessary. VAIs should have at least three ventilator circuits in their homes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
For the first 2 years of life, ventilator-assisted infants should be evaluated in the hospital every 2-3 months; the ventilator requirements of infants and children change because of their growth and development.

In most cases, kidneys can recover from almost complete loss of function, such as in acute kidney (renal) failure.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
