Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A VD/VT ratio greater than 0.60 is predictive of lack of success at discontinuance of ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because of the relationship between alveolar ventilation and PaCO2, the single best index of ef-fective ventilation is measurement of the PaCO2.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
