  b. Volume-controlled intermittent ventilation (VC-IMV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
  c. Pressure-controlled intermittent mandato-ry ventilation (PC-IMV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The figure shows two levels of pressure-control ventilation. The higher level, around 22 cm H2O is the mandatory ventilator breaths. The lower level shows spontaneous breaths with a pressure support of approximately 15 cm H2O. Baseline (PEEP) is at 5 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An assisted breath is always patient triggered. In the pressure control or targeted mode the pres-sure set is the pressure limit and the inspiratory time setting ends inspiration (cycle). Therefore, the correct answer is patient triggered, pressure limited, time cycled. The time triggered, pressure limited, and time cycled breath is a mandatory breath in the pressure-controlled continuous man-datory ventilation (PC-CMV) mode. The time triggered, pressure limited, and pressure cycled breath describes an intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)-type mandatory breath. The patient triggered, volume limited, and volume cycled is a mandatory breath in the vol-ume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) mode.

The liver is the only organ that has the ability to regenerate itself after certain types of damage. As much as 25% of the liver can be removed, and it will still regenerate back to its original shape and size. However, the liver cannot regenerate after severe damage caused by alcohol.

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.

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.

When intravenous medications are involved in adverse drug events, their harmful effects may occur more rapidly, and be more severe than errors with oral medications. This is due to the direct administration into the bloodstream.
