Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5

1. Mechanical ventilation can cause barotrauma. Pneumothorax may result.
2. Aspiration pneumonia is not an identified complication from mechanical ventilation.
3. Decreased cardiac output is a risk with mechanical ventilation.
4. GI bleeding is another potential complication of mechanical ventilation.
5. Mechanical ventilation can cause barotrauma. Subcutaneous emphysema may result.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1

1. Massive inflammation damages the alveolar capillary membranes, allowing plasma and blood cells to leak into the alveoli.
2. The adventitious lung sounds are not due to airway constriction.
3. The adventitious lung sounds are not due to hyperinflated alveoli.
4. The adventitious lung sounds are not due to mucus in the airway.
