Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Static lung compliance = Tidal volume  (Plateau pressure  Positive end-expiratory pressure) = 620 mL  (30 cm H2O  10 cm H2O) = 31 mL/cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Time triggered means that there are ventilator-initiated breaths. Patient triggered means that the patient is allowed to do the work to trigger a ventilator breath. Each breath is ended by a set in-spiratory time. This is the description of the pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation mode. All pressure-support ventilation breaths are patient triggered and flow cycled. Pres-sure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation breaths allow spontaneous breaths between ventilator breaths, and those breaths are flow cycled. Dual control continuous mandatory ventila-tion is a dual control mode of ventilation in which the breath may start out as pressure-limited but switch to volume-limited if the volume setting is not reached.

Blastomycosis is often misdiagnosed, resulting in tragic outcomes. It is caused by a fungus living in moist soil, in wooded areas of the United States and Canada. If inhaled, the fungus can cause mild breathing problems that may worsen and cause serious illness and even death.

A good example of polar molecules can be understood when trying to make a cake. If water and oil are required, they will not mix together. If you put them into a measuring cup, the oil will rise to the top while the water remains on the bottom.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves and caffeine from the African kola nut. It was advertised as a therapeutic agent and "pickerupper." Eventually, its formulation was changed, and the coca leaves were removed because of the effects of regulation on cocaine-related products.
