Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: The alveolar-arterial O2 tension difference is calculated as follows:
STEP 1: Determine the corrected barometric pressure (Pcorrected).
Pcorrected = PB  PH2O
= 760 mm Hg  47 mm Hg
= 713 mm Hg
STEP 2: Determine the Pio2.
Pio2 = Pcorrected  Fio2
= 713 mm Hg  0.8
= 570 mm Hg
STEP 3: calculate the P(A-a)Do2.
Comp: small cap o, io, co, and o in Do2, Pio2, Paco2, Pao2, respsectively

= 450 mm Hg
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: The oxygenation index can be calculated as follows:
OI = (Fio2) (Paw)  100
Pao2

= 35

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
