Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Graph C shows two pressure-limited breaths at two different pressures. The higher pressure is the pressure-limited ventilator breath, and the lower pressure is the pressure-limited spontaneous breath (or pressure-supported breath). Graph A shows volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation, graph B shows airway pressure-release ventilation, and graph D shows vol-ume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation plus pressure support.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Airway pressure-release ventilation provides two levels of continuous positive airway pressure and allows for spontaneous breathing at both levels. The ventilator is time triggered, pressure lim-ited, and time cycled. The low time is usually approximately 0.2 to 1 second.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
