Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recommended guidelines are to target the VT to 5-8 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW) while en-suring that the plateau pressure (Pplateau) is maintained at less than 30 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) are both within normal limits. Therefore, there is no pulmonary hypertension and no right ventricular failure. The bilateral infiltrates with a normal pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) do not suggest cardiogenic pulmonary edema but are indicative of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

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.
