Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If the mask seal is inadequate the volume necessary to ventilate the patient will be inadequate, which will result in lack of chest movement. If the resuscitator bag is too small there is not enough volume to adequately ventilate the patient and the chest will not rise appropriately. If the leaf valve is missing the gas from the bag will not be directed to the patient and will therefore result in inadequate chest movement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This figure depicts a Combitube. This tube has a double-lumen and two cuffs and can be inserted blindly in comatose patients with airway difficulty. It can function with either the esophagus in-tubated or the trachea intubated.

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 can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage.
