Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The mean airway pressure alarm greater than 50 cm H2O is activated if the mean airway pressure rises above 50 cm H2O for any reason. When this alarm is activated, the dump valve opens, caus-ing the oscillator to stop.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
With the sensor in place, AutoFlow functions in the continuous mandatory ventilation, synchro-nized intermittent mandatory ventilation, and mandatory minute ventilation modes.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
