Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Other techniques that may be helpful in improving arterial O2 levels include the use of PCV with a prolonged inspiratory time, use of an inspiratory pause, inverse 1:E ratio ventilation, and prone positioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Generally, PEEP is sustained at the set level until FiO2 is less than 0.5, and when PEEP is de-creased, it should be decreased in increments of 2 cm H2O no more frequently than approxi-mately every 6 to 8 hr.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
