Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Flow triggered and pressure triggered mean that the patient has initiated the breath. Pressure lim-ited and volume limited mean that either one of these variables is not allowed to be exceeded during a breath. This occurs with either ventilator or assisted breaths. Patient triggered could ei-ther be pressure or flow and could be part of a spontaneous breath as long as the pressure during inspiration does not rise above the baseline setting. During spontaneous breathing the patient will control both the beginning and the ending of the breath.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) is a full ventilatory support mode. Therefore, a pres-sure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) rate of 8 breaths/min is not partial ventilatory support. A ventilator rate setting of 8 breaths/min or more is also considered full sup-port. Therefore, even though pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (PC-IMV) could be partial ventilatory support, it is full support because of the set rate of 10 breaths/min. Volume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (VC-IMV) with a set rate of 4 breaths/min is partial ventilatory support and MMV can be partial ventilatory support when the patient is par-ticipating in the work of breathing (WOB) to maintain effective alveolar ventilation.

Did you know?

Medication errors are three times higher among children and infants than with adults.

Did you know?

Prostaglandins were first isolated from human semen in Sweden in the 1930s. They were so named because the researcher thought that they came from the prostate gland. In fact, prostaglandins exist and are synthesized in almost every cell of the body.

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.

Did you know?

Today, nearly 8 out of 10 pregnant women living with HIV (about 1.1 million), receive antiretrovirals.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
