Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pressure and flow are the most common variables used for patient triggering. However, volume triggering and neural triggering also can be used.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Baseline pressure is the pressure maintained at the airway during exhalation and the pressure from which inspiration begins. Proximal pressure is the pressure measured near the Y-connector of the ventilator circuit. Sensitivity is the control set by the operator that determines the amount of work the patient must do to trigger a breath. The mean airway pressure is the average pressure occurring in the airway during a complete respiratory cycle.

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.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
