Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Compared with flow triggering, flow-waveform triggering is more sensitive to patient effort, resulting in fewer ineffective efforts, but more sensitive to auto- triggering. Flow-waveform triggering improves trigger synchrony, and requires less effort for triggering, but because of the improved sensitivity, is susceptible to auto-triggering.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: Elastance is the reciprocal of compliance.
B. Incorrect response: Compliance refers to the ease of lung distensibility.
C. Correct response: The term dynamic hyperinflation is an increase in the functional residual capacity above the elastic equilibrium volumes of the respiratory system.
D. Incorrect response: Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony refers to a situation in which either the patient is out of phase with the ventilator, or when the ventilator is out of phase with the patient.

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.
