Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Oxygen concentrators are devices that produce enriched oxygen from atmospheric air. Thus, ox-ygen and water vapor diffuse through these membranes faster than nitrogen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Fractional distillation generates bulk oxygen. Molecular sieves and semipermeable membranes are used in oxygen concentrators. The combustion of natural gas produces carbon dioxide.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
