Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
High-frequency jet ventilation operates by passing gas from a high-pressure source through a var-iable regulator that reduces the pressure to the desired working level. The gas passes through a device, usually a solenoid or a fluidic valve, which governs the amount and duration of flow. The gas jet is delivered through a specially made triple-lumen endotracheal tube, which is similar to conventional endotracheal tubes except that two additional small lines are added. One line is for delivering jet ventilation, and the other is for monitoring distal airway pressures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The pressure-time waveform is raised from the zero line; this means that there is positive end-expiratory pressure. The flat pressure wave is indicative of pressure-limited breaths. The higher level represents the ventilator pressure-limited breath, and the lower level waveform rep-resents the pressure-supported breaths.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Certain topical medications such as clotrimazole and betamethasone are not approved for use in children younger than 12 years of age. They must be used very cautiously, as directed by a doctor, to treat any child. Children have a much greater response to topical steroid medications.

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.
