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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
