Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
During volume ventilation, pressure increases as the volume is being delivered. The pressure at the end of inspiration, or peak inspiratory pressure, represents the pressure needed to overcome both airflow resistance and the elastic recoil pressure of the lungs and thorax. This concept is demonstrated in the equation of motion: Muscle pressure + Ventilator pressure = Elastic recoil pressure + Flow resistance pressure. Muscle pressure is the pressure generated by a person's mus-cles of ventilation to overcome elastic recoil pressure and airflow resistance. Transthoracic pres-sure is a pressure gradient between the pleural space and the body surface. During spontaneous breathing, it is the total pressure needed to expand or contract the lungs and chest wall together.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Transairway pressure is the pressure required to overcome airflow resistance and is calculated by subtracting the plateau pressure from the peak inspiratory pressure. An increase in the peak in-spiratory pressure with a constant plateau pressure increases the transairway pressure. Another way to increase transairway pressure would be to decrease the plateau pressure (i.e., improved static compliance) and keep a constant peak inspiratory pressure.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.

Did you know?

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

It is believed that humans initially contracted crabs from gorillas about 3 million years ago from either sleeping in gorilla nests or eating the apes.

Calcitonin is a naturally occurring hormone. In women who are at least 5 years beyond menopause, it slows bone loss and increases spinal bone density.
