Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The first mechanism is the ability of NIV to rest the respiratory muscles. Second, NIV lowers the PaCO2, and the decrease is believed to reset the central ventilatory controller and establish a new baseline PaCO2. The third mechanism is the improvement in lung compliance, lung volume, and dead space that result from NIV.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The CPAP group had a lower rate of intubation, pneumonia, overall infection, and sepsis.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
