Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If the ventilator controls volume, the volume and flow waveforms will remain consistent, but pressure will vary with changes in respiratory mechanics. To qualify as a true volume controller, a ventilator must measure volume and use this signal to control the volume waveform.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
There are only three variables in the equation of motion that a ventilator can control: pressure, volume, and flow.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
