Compared with a square wave flow pattern, a decelerating flow waveform has which of the fol-lowing potential benefits?
 
  1. Reduced peak pressure
  2. Improved cardiac output
  3. Less inspiratory work
  4. Decreased volume of dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (VD/VT)
  a. 1 and 3 only
  b. 1, 3, and 4 only
  c. 2 and 4 only
  d. 2, 3, and 4 only

Question 2

  FiO2 PaO2
  a. 0.3 80 mm Hg

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Compared with a square flow waveform, decreasing flow has been shown to reduce peak pres-sure, inspiratory work, VD/VT, and P(Aa)O2 without affecting hemodynamic values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As a rule, refractory hypoxemia exists when a patient's PaO2 cannot be maintained above 50 to 60 mm Hg with an FiO2 of 0.40 to 0.50 or more.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
