______ law states that the degree to which a gas enters into a physical solution in body fluids is directly proportional to the partial pressure of gas to which the fluid is exposed?
 
  a. Dalton's c. Gay-Lussac's
  b. Henry's d. Boyle's

Question 2

A 60-year-old man with a 90 pack-years smoking history arrives in the emergency department on a nonrebreathing mask with an SpO2 of 88.
 
  The arterial blood gas results at this time indicate a pH of 7.38, PCO2 of 58, and partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) of 54. Which action should the respiratory therapist take at this time?
  a. Keep the nonrebreathing mask on the pa-tient.
  b. Administer an 80:20 heliox concentration.
  c. Place a nasal cannula set at 6 L/min.
  d. Place an air-entrainment mask on the pa-tient that delivers 0.40 FIO2.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Henry's law is used to explain the changes in the PaO2 that occur with exposure to elevated am-bient pressure. The law states that the degree to which a gas enters into physical solution in body fluids is directly proportional to the partial pressure of gas to which the fluid is exposed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An air-entrainment device is the best delivery device for a patient with chronic obstructive pul-monary disease because of its ability to provide a precise FIO2. The other choices have a greater likelihood of causing CO2 retention and knocking out the patient's hypoxic drive.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
