Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To deliberately hyperventilate a patient, each breath needs to be a machine breath (either volume or pressure). The only mode from the choices given that does that is the pressure-controlled con-tinuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) mode. Volume support ventilation (VSV) is a patient triggered, volume targeted, flow cycled mode of ventilation that has no backup rate and there-fore is a purely spontaneous mode. Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is designed to provide two levels of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and to allow spontaneous breathing at both levels when spontaneous effort is present. If the patient is not breathing spon-taneously, APRV resembles pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PCIRV) and could po-tentially elevate the patient's already elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Volume-controlled in-termittent mandatory ventilation (VC-IMV) actually could be made to hyperventilate the patient if the rate is set high enough. The IMV mode is actually used to reduce the effect of patient hy-perventilation on acid-base balance. This happens because only the set rate is a ventilator breath; the rest are patient triggered with the patient's own tidal volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Full ventilatory support is provided when the ventilator-initiated rates are set at 8 breaths/min or more in the continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) or intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) modes with either pressure control or volume control.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in overdose can seriously damage the liver. It should never be taken by people who use alcohol heavily; it can result in severe liver damage and even a condition requiring a liver transplant.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

Did you know?

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
