Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio = Inspiratory time/Expiratory time and Expiratory time = Total cycle time  Inspiratory time. Inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio = Inspiratory time/Total cycle time  Inspiratory time. Total cycle time = 60  12 = 5 s. Inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio = 0.9/5  0.9 = 0.9/4.1. Reduce the inspiratory time-to-expiratory time ratio to its simplest form; divide the numerator and the denominator by inspiratory time. 0.9  0.9/4.1  0.9 = 1:4.56, or 1:4.6.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The larger flat-top pressure curves represent patient-triggered, pressure-limited, time-cycled breaths from the ventilator. The smaller flat-top pressure curves represent patient-triggered, pressure-limited (pressure-supported) spontaneous patient breaths. Pressure-supported spontane-ous breaths between patient-triggered ventilator breaths are depicted in the figure. This is inter-mittent mandatory ventilation, and, more specifically, it is pressure-controlled intermittent man-datory ventilation because the ventilator breaths are pressure limited.

People with alcoholism are at a much greater risk of malnutrition than are other people and usually exhibit low levels of most vitamins (especially folic acid). This is because alcohol often takes the place of 50% of their daily intake of calories, with little nutritional value contained in it.
