Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The set flow rate for a bubble CPAP setup is 5 L/min. Flow rates above 5 L/min result in higher pressures than those anticipated by the submersion depth of the distal tubing. Flow rates lower than 5 L/min would not be able to maintain the bubble CPAP level needed for a given depth. Improper placement of the manometer could result in lower pressures than expected, because the manometer would not be reading pressure on exhalation. Fluid in the inspiratory line may drop the pressure reading by the manometer, because it would cause back pressure behind the fluid.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nasal SiPAP allows the neonate to breathe continuously at CPAP and during a sustained sigh breath to recruit lung units at two different lung volumes. It allows the neonate to breathe at a high and a low CPAP setting.

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.
