Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Furthermore, evidence from survivors of ARDS has demonstrated that many experience persis-tent problems with memory and cognition and that these changes relate to the types of sedation that patients receive during their care in the ICU. In particular, using benzodiazepines (e.g., lo-razepam or midazolam) seems to carry the greatest risk for these adverse neurocognitive effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
