Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A. Correct response: For a relaxed patient receiving a positive-pressure breath, nearly all of the individual mechanical effects are invoked with each inspiration. Pleural pressure increases would tend to (1) decrease venous return, (2) decrease left ventricular afterload, (3) increase lung volume, (4) increase right ventricular afterload, (5) increase pulmonary vascular resistance, and (6) increase or decrease blood flow into the left atrium depending on the overall fluid volume status.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: In patients who are fully volume replete or hypervolemic, positive and negative effects of ventilation on stroke volume tend to balance each other, so that the pulse pressure remains relatively constant.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
