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.

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).
