Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Volume lost in the ventilator circuit equals tubing compliance multiplied by the measured peak inspiratory pressure. Volume lost = 3 mL/cm H2O  40 cm H2O = 120 mL.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During volume ventilation, plateau pressure is obtained by using the maneuver that extends or delays exhalation by keeping the expiratory valve momentarily closed. This prevents the gas from leaving the circuit. The maneuver is known as an inspiratory pause, inspiratory hold, or inspirato-ry plateau.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
