What is the major contributing factor for the development of BPD?
 
  1. Immature lungs have a decreased number of alveoli for gas exchange
   2. Premature birth with decreased number of functional alveoli, leading to lung injury
   3. Chronic respiratory infections, leading to pulmonary hypertension and lung scarring
   4. Ventilator assistance with high oxygen flow rate at birth, causing inflammation and scarring in lungs

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. BPD occurs because of the increased resistance and amount of damaged alveoli, decreasing the amount of oxygen exchange.
2. Scarring occurs on the alveoli that are present. The preemie baby has the same amount of alveoli, but less surface area to ventilate.
3. Neonates do not commonly have respiratory infections to cause an increased risk for BPD.
4. Ventilator assistance with high oxygen flow rate at birth, causing inflammation and scarring in lungs

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should notify the chaplain in the absence of a priest or pastor.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

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.
