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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
