Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: The Compliance Rate Oxygenation and Pressure (CROP) index is an integrated factor that is used to predict the success of weaning from mechanical ventilation. The CROP index is calculated as follows:

= 19.8 ml/breath/min
A CROP index greater than 13 ml/breath/minute indicates an increased likelihood of success for ventilator discontinuation.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: An esophageal balloon is used to measure esophageal pressure (Pes), which is an estimate of the patient's intrapleural pressure. The Pes is needed to access patient muscle loads. Muscle loads can be expressed as either work or pressure-time products (PTPs) per breath.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Amoebae are the simplest type of protozoans, and are characterized by a feeding and dividing trophozoite stage that moves by temporary extensions called pseudopodia or false feet.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
