Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Audible and visual alarms should indicate when remote temperature sensors are disconnected, absent, or defective; in these cases, power to the heater should be interrupted to prevent over-heating. See Box 6-7.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Overhydration is a potentially serious problem for patients being treated with heated jet nebuliz-ers and ultrasonic nebulizers. The risk of overhydration is greatest for infants, young children, and those with preexisting fluid or electrolyte imbalances.
