The therapist is about to establish ventilator settings for a patient who is to receive pressure-controlled ventilation (PC-CMV). Which of the following control panel adjustments must the therapist make to institute this form of ventilation? I. pressure support above PEEP II. inspiratory pressure above PEEP III. inspiratory time IV. mandatory rate
 
  A. I, II only
  B. II, III, IV only
  C. I, II, III only
  D. I, III, IV only

Question 2

Which of the following mode classifications characterize continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)?
 
  A. pressure controlled; time triggered; pressure limited; and time cycled
  B. pressure or volume controlled; time or patient triggered; flow or volumes limited; and time, flow, pressure, or volume cycled
  C. pressure controlled; pressure, flow, or volume triggered; pressure limited; and pressure cycled
  D. pressure controlled; patient triggered; pressure limited; and flow cycled

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: Pressure support ventilation involves the delivery of some level of pressure to be delivered during each spontaneous breath to overcome the work of breathing imposed on the patient by an artificial airway. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) differs from pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in that PSV is used only for patients who are breathing spontaneously, whereas PCV is for breaths that are patient triggered (pressure or flow) or time triggered. With PCV, the pressure remains constant throughout inspiration, and the pressure is unaffected by changes in lung compliance and airway resistance.
B. Correct response: With pressure control ventilation (PCV), the peak inspiratory pressure, mandatory rate, inspiratory time, or I:E ratio are set. An advantage of PCV is that alveolar pressure cannot exceed the set pressure. One of the goals of PCV is to avoid permitting the PIP from exceeding 30 cm H2O, thus minimizing the potential for alveolar overdistention. Inspiratory time is set during PCV. The mandatory rate is set during PCV.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: PC-CMV is classified as pressure controlled; time triggered; pressure limited; and time cycled.
B. Incorrect response: CMV is classified as pressure or volume controlled; time or patient triggered; flow or volume limited; and time, flow, pressure, or volume cycled.
C. Correct response: CPAP is a spontaneous ventilatory mode characterized as pressure controlled; pressure, flow, or volume triggered; pressure limited; and pressure cycled. CPAP can also be classified as pressure controlled; patient triggered; pressure limited; and pressure cycled.
D. Incorrect response: Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is pressure controlled; patient triggered; pressure limited; and flow cycled.
Note that the term patient refers to the fact that the patient's effort is responsible for triggering inspiration if the trigger variable is either pressure, flow, or volume.

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.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.

A strange skin disease referred to as Morgellons has occurred in the southern United States and in California. Symptoms include slowly healing sores, joint pain, persistent fatigue, and a sensation of things crawling through the skin. Another symptom is strange-looking, threadlike extrusions coming out of the skin.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves and caffeine from the African kola nut. It was advertised as a therapeutic agent and "pickerupper." Eventually, its formulation was changed, and the coca leaves were removed because of the effects of regulation on cocaine-related products.
