Answer to Question 1

ANS: AA. Correct response: A rectangular pressure waveform is accompanied by an exponentially rising volume waveform and an exponentially decaying (declining) flow waveform. The volume rises exponentially to a value equal to the product of the lung compliance and the difference between the PIP and the PEEP. That is,
volume = CL (PIP  PEEP)
L = L/cm H2O (cm H2O)
The inspiratory flow declines exponentially from its peak level, which is equal to the difference between change in airway pressure multiplied by the airway resistance. Hence,
flow = Raw  (PIP  PEEP)
L/sec = cm H2O/L/sec  (cm H2O)

B. Incorrect response: The choice has the waveforms opposite of what they actually are.
C. Incorrect response: When the pressure waveform is sinusoidal, the volume and flow waveforms are also sinusoidal.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation for choice A above.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: DI. Incorrect response: None of the ventilator waveforms is hyperbolic.
II. Correct response: The most common types of waveform produced by mechanical ventilators are:
  Rectangular
  Ramp
  Exponential
  Sinusoidal
III. Correct response: See explanation II.
IV. Correct response: See explanation II

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
