Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The Puritan Bennett AP-4 is only patient-triggered, so it can be used for intermittent posi-tive-pressure breathing therapy but not for providing short-term ventilatory support of patients with apnea. The other ventilators mentioned are able to support patients for short-term mechani-cal ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient's ability to ventilate and cough effectively is compromised because she is not alert. Because of this, incentive spirometry, deep-breathing exercises, and positive expiratory pressure are not appropriate therapies. Intermittent positive-pressure breathing is appropriate because she is not alert.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
