Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A tracheostomy site typically requires 7-10 days to mature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients who do well for 30-60 minutes after extubation and then fail weaning because of acute respiratory acidosis, hypoxemia, hypotension, and chest pain are likely to have acute left ventric-ular failure. This occurs because of increased preload, which is due to the decreased pulmonary capillary compression that occurs when intrathoracic pressure is reduced as a result of being off the ventilator.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
