Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Negative-pressure ventilation (NPV) attempts to mimic the function of the respiratory muscles to allow breathing through normal physiological mechanisms. Positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) pushes air into the lungs by increasing the alveolar pressure. High frequency oscillatory ventila-tion (HFOV) delivers very small volumes at very high rates in a to-and-fro motion by pushing the gas in and pulling it out during exhalation. High frequency positive-pressure ventilation (HFPPV) pushes in small volumes at high respiratory rates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The definition of intrinsic PEEP is air that is accidentally trapped in the lung. Another name for this is auto-PEEP. Extrinsic PEEP is the positive baseline pressure that is set by the operator. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the sum of a patient's residual volume and expiratory re-serve volume and is the amount of gas that normally remains in the lung after a quiet exhalation. The plateau pressure is the pressure measured in the lungs at no flow during an inspiratory hold maneuver.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
