Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If pneumothorax occurs during hyperbaric treatment, chest tubes should be immediately inserted; failure to treat pneumothorax can have dire consequences. Gas-trapping can result in barotraumas for those with obstructive bronchial diseases. Similarly, patients who have upper respiratory in-fections and nasal congestion are usually unable to clear their ears during compression and de-compression and thus are prone to eardrum rupture during treatment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Transcutaneous monitoring has proven to be valuable in the assessment of the overall oxygena-tion status of a patient undergoing hyperbaric therapy. Arterial blood gas monitoring can provide information on the oxygenation status of patients receiving hyperbaric therapy and can also give an indication of their ventilatory status.

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.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum.

The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
