Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema and heart failure often can be managed successfully with medica-tions that reduce preload, increase contractility, and reduce afterload; such medications include furosemide (Lasix), digoxin (Lanoxin), enalaprilat (Vasotec), and morphine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Capnographic findings can provide a clue to the presence of a PE. A decrease in the end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) value compared with previous readings and a widening of the arteri-al-to-end-tidal partial pressure CO2 gradient (Pa-etCO2) may suggest the presence of an embolus.

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. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
