Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: According to the authors of chapter 17 (page 317) in the text, patients receiving mechanical ventilation for Guillain-Barr syndrome can be weaned within the first 2 weeks of ventilator commitment.
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: Patients with neuromuscular disease must be assessed for the ability to maintain a patent airway. Orthopnea, inability to speak in complete sentences, or paradoxical inward abdominal motion during inspiration indicate respiratory muscle weakness and fatigue. A drop in FVC below 15 ml/kg and an MIP of less than 25 cm H2O are considered to be an indication for prophylactic intubation and mechanical ventilation.
