Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Total cycle time = 60 s  frequency = 60  30 = 2 s. There are four equal parts to the total cycle time (add the I from the inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio to the E from the inspirato-ry time-to-expiratory time ratio, or 1 + 3 = 4). Inspiratory time = Total cycle time  (I + E) = 2  4 = 0.5 s.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Inspiratory time = Tidal volume (in liters)  Flow rate (in liters/second) = 0.6 L  1 L/s = 0.6 s.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
