Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Compared with flow triggering, flow-waveform triggering is more sensitive to patient effort, resulting in fewer ineffective efforts, but more sensitive to auto- triggering. Flow-waveform triggering improves trigger synchrony, and requires less effort for triggering, but because of the improved sensitivity, is susceptible to auto-triggering.
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: Elastance is the reciprocal of compliance.
B. Incorrect response: Compliance refers to the ease of lung distensibility.
C. Correct response: The term dynamic hyperinflation is an increase in the functional residual capacity above the elastic equilibrium volumes of the respiratory system.
D. Incorrect response: Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony refers to a situation in which either the patient is out of phase with the ventilator, or when the ventilator is out of phase with the patient.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
