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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
