Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Several different types of hormones may influence urine output during mechanical ventilation. Specifically, these include ADH, atrial natriuretic factor, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone cascade. Increases in the release of ADH, also called arginine vasopressin, from the posterior pi-tuitary can reduce urine production by inhibiting free water excretion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
PPV increases splanchnic resistance, decreases splanchnic venous outflow, and may contribute to gastric mucosal ischemia, which can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and gastric ul-cers. Both of these conditions are complications frequently seen in critically ill patients.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
