Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
With assist-control mode, every breath is supported by the ventilator. Breaths are patient- or time-triggered to inspiration and may be volume or pressure limited. Inspiration may be volume, pressure, or time cycled to the expiratory phase. Assist-control ventilation typically is delivered as volume-controlled (VC) continuous mandatory ventilation. Suggested initial settings for as-sist-control volume ventilation in the care of adults are listed in Box 48-4. Advantages of as-sist-control volume ventilation include the assurance that a minimum, safe level of ventilation is achieved. Every breath is a volume breath, yet the patient can set his or her own breathing rate. In the event of sedation or apnea, a minimum, safe level of ventilation is guaranteed by the selection of an appropriate backup rate, usually approximately 2 to 4 breaths/min below the patient's assist rate, but not less than the rate necessary to provide a minimum safe level of ventilation (e.g., a backup rate of at least 8 to 10 breaths/min, depending on tidal volume set). Because assist-control ventilation usually provides full ventilatory support, it may result in a lower work of breathing than partial support modes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Ventilation strategies for lung protection in ARDS include a low VT, rapid respiratory rates, and permissive hypercapnia if necessary to avoid overdistention or Pplat greater than 28 cm H2O.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.

Women are two-thirds more likely than men to develop irritable bowel syndrome. This may be attributable to hormonal changes related to their menstrual cycles.

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.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
