Description
The most clinically relevant respiratory care equipment textbook on the market, Mosby’s
Respiratory Care Equipment, 10th Edition employs a "how-to" approach that moves
beyond technical descriptions of machinery. Learn to identify equipment, understand how
it works, and apply your knowledge to clinical practice with this comprehensive overview
of the equipment and techniques used by respiratory therapists to treat cardiopulmonary
dysfunction. The 10th edition includes updated information on the latest devices and
equipment, which are divided into clearly defined sections including: ventilators, transport,
home-care, neonatal and pediatric ventilators, and alternative ventilators. In addition,
there’s a focus on specific ventilator characteristics such as mode, monitors and displays,
alarms and indicators, graphics, special features, and troubleshooting for lesser-used
ventilators.

Chapter 01: Basic Physics for the Respiratory Therapist
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Power is a measure of which of the following?
a. Mechanical energy
b. Gravitational potential energy
c. The rate at which work is being performed
d. The rate at which atoms and molecules move
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. The formula P = W/J,
where W = watts and 1 watt is equal to 1 J/s, expresses this. Joules are the international
standard for expressing energy and work.
PTS: 1 REF: Page 8
2. When effort produces a change in the position of matter:
a. work is performed.
b. it is known as a joule.
c. mechanical power is created.
d. the law of the conservation of energy is being used.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Work is performed only when effort or outside forces produce a change in the position of
matter.

3. The unit used to express the force of 1 newton (N) acting on a 1-kilogram (kg) object to
move it 1 meter (m) is which of the following?
a. Watt c. Kilowatt
b. Joule d. Kinetic energy
, THIS DOCUMENT BELONGS TO TESTBANKSPROF
CORRECT ANSWER: B
One joule is equal to the force of 1 N acting on 1 kg. A watt is equivalent to 1 J/s. A kilowatt is
simply 1000 W. Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses when it is in motion.
PTS: 1 REF: Page 8
4. Power is expressed in which of the following units?
a. Newtons c. Ohms
b. Joules d. Watts
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. Energy and work are
measured in joules. One joule is the force of 1 N acting on a 1-kg object to move it 1 m.
Ohms is the resistance an electrical circuit possesses.

5. Four horsepower (hp) is equal to how many kilowatts (kW)?
a. 5.36 c. 2984
b. 2.98 d. 186.5
CORRECT ANSWER: B
1 hp = 0.746 kW.
1 hp/0.746 = 4 hp/X.
X=4 0.476 = 2.98 kW.
PTS: 1 REF: Page 8
6. The energy that an object possesses when it is in motion is called:
a. sound. c. thermal.
b. kinetic. d. potential.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses when it stays in motion. Potential energy
is stored energy, and it exists in many forms such as thermal energy or sound waves.
