  b. Volume curve will end under the zero line.
  c. Inspiration will end prior to flow tapering to zero.
  d. Pressure curve will become concave on inspiration.

Question 2

An inadequate flow setting during volume ventilation will cause which of the following to oc-cur?
 
  a. The volume curve will drop below the zero baseline.
  b. The volume curve will not drop to the zero baseline.
  c. The exhaled flow will take longer to rise to the zero baseline.
  d. The pressure-time curve will appear con-cave during inspiration.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When compliance is reduced during pressure ventilation the volume delivered will be reduced proportionally. The volume curve ending under the zero line is indicative of active exhalation. Inspiration ending prior to the flow tapering to zero is consistent with an increase in airway re-sistance. The pressure curve becoming concave on inspiration is consistent with inadequate flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When the flow rate setting is inadequate, the pressure-time scalar takes a concave shape during inspiration. A volume curve dropping below baseline is indicative of active exhalation. A volume curve that ends above baseline indicates a leak. An exhaled flow curve that takes the entire ex-piratory time to rise back to zero baseline is indicative of increased airway resistance.

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.

Children with strabismus (crossed eyes) can be treated. They are not able to outgrow this condition on their own, but with help, it can be more easily corrected at a younger age. It is important for infants to have eye examinations as early as possible in their development and then another at age 2 years.
