Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The term pressure limited points to either a pressure support breath or a pressure control breath. These breaths both are limited by the operator-selected pressure. A spontaneous breath is always flow cycled. This eliminates the pressure control breath because those breaths are always time cycled. Therefore, a patient triggered, pressure limited, flow cycled breath is a pressure support breath.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A mode in which the patient can receive a time triggered breath or a patient triggered breath is continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV or A/C). Pressure limited breaths that are either time or patient triggered occur in pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV), where the breath is also time cycled. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) breaths are always flow cycled. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) breaths are always spontaneous, and vol-ume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (VC-IMV) breaths are volume limited and volume cycled.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released reports detailing the deaths of infants (younger than 1 year of age) who died after being given cold and cough medications. This underscores the importance of educating parents that children younger than 2 years of age should never be given over-the-counter cold and cough medications without consulting their physicians.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors. Health care professionals that use smart infusion pumps must still practice the rights of medication administration and have other professionals double-check all high-risk infusions.
