Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Because the expiratory volume does not return to zero in these graphics, a leak is present in the patient-ventilator circuit. Increased airway resistance would show as a scooped-out expiratory flow on the flow-volume loop, which may not end before the next breath. Decreased lung com-pliance would show as a duck bill on the pressure-volume loop. Active exhalation would make the volume tracing drop below zero.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The expiratory flow in this loop does not return to zero. This shows that auto-PEEP or intrinsic PEEP is present.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
