Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: Pulmonary compliance will not be affected by the transition from positive-pressure breathing to spontaneous breathing.
B. Correct response: The mean pleural pressure will decrease when a patient is switched from positive-pressure breathing to spontaneous ventilation.
C. Incorrect response: Respiratory muscle effort increases when a patient assumes a greater work of breathing as occurs when a person changes from positive-pressure breathing to spontaneous breathing.
D. Incorrect response: When a patient assumes an increased work of breathing such as transforming from positive-pressure breathing to spontaneous ventilation, the diaphragm increases contraction to support spontaneous breathing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Because a decrease in pleural pressure accompanies the transition from positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) to spontaneous ventilation (SV), and because pleural pressure directly affects the right atrial pressure, venous return increases. The drop in pleural pressure also causes left ventricular afterload to increase.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

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.
