Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The ejection fraction is a derived variable that provides an estimate of ventricular contractility. The systemic vascular resistance is an indicator of left ventricular afterload. Pulmonary vascular resistance indicates right ventricular afterload. Left ventricular stroke work reflects the pressure generated by the heart during a ventricular contraction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Desired VT Known PaCO2 Known VT / Desired PaCO2

All adults should have their cholesterol levels checked once every 5 years. During 2009–2010, 69.4% of Americans age 20 and older reported having their cholesterol checked within the last five years.

Did you know?

Parkinson's disease is both chronic and progressive. This means that it persists over a long period of time and that its symptoms grow worse over time.

Did you know?

Studies show that systolic blood pressure can be significantly lowered by taking statins. In fact, the higher the patient's baseline blood pressure, the greater the effect of statins on his or her blood pressure.

Common abbreviations that cause medication errors include U (unit), mg (milligram), QD (every day), SC (subcutaneous), TIW (three times per week), D/C (discharge or discontinue), HS (at bedtime or "hours of sleep"), cc (cubic centimeters), and AU (each ear).
