When a closed Thorpe tube flowmeter is attached to a 50-psi oxygen source, the indicator float jumps up then quickly falls to zero. This flowmeter is:
 
  a. broken. c. compensated for back pressure.
  b. a Bourdon gauge flowmeter. d. uncompensated for back pressure.

Question 2

Which of the following are advantages of nasal cannula use? 1. They are cost-effective. 2. They deliver precise FIO2. 3. The patient can eat, speak, and drink with the cannula in place. 4. Pressure necrosis will not occur.
 
  a. 1 and 2 c. 2 and 3
  b. 1 and 3 d. 3 and 4

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A flowmeter can be determined to be pressure-compensated if the following test is performed: With the needle valve closed, the flowmeter is plugged into a high-pressure gas source. If the float in the indicator tube jumps and then falls to zero, the flowmeter is pressure-compensated. The float movement occurs because the source gas must pass through the indicator tube before it reaches the needle valve.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nasal cannulas are inexpensive and allow the patient to eat, drink, and speak while receiving ox-ygen. Nasal cannulas cannot deliver precise oxygen concentrations, and pressure necrosis is pos-sible because of the pressure points where the tubing holds the cannula in place touch the pa-tient's face and ears.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
