Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nitric oxide has been shown to be a potent pulmonary vasodilator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Hyperbaric oxygenation is achieved by having the patient breathe oxygen by mask or through a specially designed hood while being exposed to elevated barometric pressures in the com-pressed-air chamber. Treatment schedules are tailored to the specific needs of the patient. Gener-ally, patients are placed on schedules in which intermittent air-breathing periods of 5 minutes or more are programmed approximately every 20 minutes to prevent oxygen toxicity to the patient.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
