Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Transairway pressure = Peak inspiratory pressure  Plateau pressure = 35 cm H2O  20 cm H2O = 15 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Continuous positive airway pressure is a technique in which a patient breathes spontaneously at an elevated baseline pressure. This increases the functional residual capacity and mean airway pressure and improves lung recruitment and oxygenation.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
