Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Intubated patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support typically have a Raw of 5 to 10 cm H2O/L/sec.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Positive pressure ventilation (especially with PEEP), pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest, and pulmonary hypoperfusion also may cause an increase in PaCO2 to PETCO2 gradient P(aET)CO2. Exercise and a large tidal volume can reverse the P(aET)CO2 gradient, the PETCO2 can actually exceed the PaCO2.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
