Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: Under ideal conditions, all gas leaving the O2 source is delivered to the patient. However, in pneumatically or fluidically controlled ventilators, these control circuits often consume gas to power inspiration and expiration. Gas consumption is defined as gas used by the ventilator for operating circuits or valves, which is exhausted into the atmosphere and not delivered to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Humidification of the patient's airway is often overlooked during transport. Part of the reason is the difficulty and impracticality of transporting the patient with a humidification system during transport. The logistics and dangers of transporting an electrically powered, position-dependent, water-filled device are exasperating. However, humidification must be provided because delivery of anhydrous medical gases to the tracheobronchial tree can cause tissue damage in less than 30 minutes. A passive humidification device (i.e., a heat-moisture exchanger (HME) or artificial nose) may be used. An HME collects the patient's own respired heat and moisture during expiration, and returns them to the patient's respiratory tract during the ensuing inspiration. HMEs are not as efficient as heated humidification systems, but are particularly suited for patient transport.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

The term bacteria was devised in the 19th century by German biologist Ferdinand Cohn. He based it on the Greek word "bakterion" meaning a small rod or staff. Cohn is considered to be the father of modern bacteriology.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
