Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Graph C shows two pressure-limited breaths at two different pressures. The higher pressure is the pressure-limited ventilator breath, and the lower pressure is the pressure-limited spontaneous breath (or pressure-supported breath). Graph A shows volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation, graph B shows airway pressure-release ventilation, and graph D shows vol-ume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation plus pressure support.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Airway pressure-release ventilation provides two levels of continuous positive airway pressure and allows for spontaneous breathing at both levels. The ventilator is time triggered, pressure lim-ited, and time cycled. The low time is usually approximately 0.2 to 1 second.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

In most cases, kidneys can recover from almost complete loss of function, such as in acute kidney (renal) failure.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.

Acute bronchitis is an inflammation of the breathing tubes (bronchi), which causes increased mucus production and other changes. It is usually caused by bacteria or viruses, can be serious in people who have pulmonary or cardiac diseases, and can lead to pneumonia.

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.
