Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Among the key provisions in these standards is the requirement for a reserve or backup gas sup-ply to equal the average daily gas use of the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The alternating supply or cylinder manifold system consists of large (normally H or K size) cyl-inders of compressed O2 banked together in series (Figure 40-7). This alternating supply system has two sides: a primary bank and a reserve bank. When the pressure in the primary bank de-creases to a set level, a control valve automatically switches over to the reserve bank. When this occurs, the primary bank is taken off-line, and the empty cylinders are replaced with full ones. The replenished primary bank becomes the reserve bank. Some large alternating supply systems are permanently fixed and are refilled on site by a supply truck. These cylinder manifold systems have pressure-reducing valves for regulation of delivered pressure and normally have low-pressure alarms. These alarms sound when reserve switch-over occurs, and they warn of im-pending depletion or malfunction.

Pubic lice (crabs) are usually spread through sexual contact. You cannot catch them by using a public toilet.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
