Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During volume control ventilation, changes in lung characteristics cause changes in pressure. In-creasing airway resistance causes an increase in the amount of pressure required to deliver the volume, thereby increasing peak airway pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) is appropriate for this patient because during the periods of apnea there are no respiratory efforts. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an accepted method used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) and pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) would require the patient to be intubated.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

All adverse reactions are commonly charted in red ink in the patient's record and usually are noted on the front of the chart. Failure to follow correct documentation procedures may result in malpractice lawsuits.

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

Did you know?

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
