Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Dilation of the RV can force the interventricular septum to move to the left. This phenomenon usually occurs when a high pressure (>15 cm H2O) is used and the patient is volume depleted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Uneven ventilation is likely to occur with high inspiratory flow. If, for example, the right bron-chus is partially obstructed, most of the gas flow would go to the left lung because gas flow fol-lows the path of least resistance. Consequently, a larger volume enters the left lung, creating higher airway pressures in the left lung compared with the right.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
