Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
For speech to occur, tracheal pressures of approximately 2 cm H2O are required to vibrate the vocal cords and produce a quality voice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because this patient has ALS and is ventilator dependent, removing the patient will not enable the RT to perform PEP therapy or autogenic drainage. Assisted coughing with manual chest compression helps to mobilize secretions into an area in the larger airways that can be suctioned. MI-E also is appropriate for a patient, such as this one, who is unable to generate enough expira-tory flow for a cough.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Bisphosphonates were first developed in the nineteenth century. They were first investigated for use in disorders of bone metabolism in the 1960s. They are now used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease, bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and other conditions that feature bone fragility.
