  A. decrease; increase
  B. increase; decrease
  C. decrease; decrease
  D. increase; increase

Question 2

  A. The predictive value is minimal.
  B. The predictive value is not related at all to changes in pulse pressure.
  C. Changes in pulse pressure are equally predictive as left ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
  D. Changes in pulse pressure are better predictors than pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: CPAP and PEEP are associated with a decreased left ventricular preload and afterload. Consistent with these mechanisms, CPAP has been used to treat cardiogenic (high-pressure) pulmonary edema caused by left ventricular failure.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: In patients who are relatively hypovolemic, the negative and positive effects on left ventricular stroke volume predominate during separate phases of the respiratory cycle during a PPV breath. This condition exaggerates the changes in pulse pressure. When studied quantitatively, the change in pulse pressure across the respiratory cycle have been shown to predict the improvements in cardiac output following a fluid bolus. The positive and negative predictive values of changes in pulse pressure during a PPV breath exceed other traditional indexes of volume status, including the pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
