TEST BANK For Mosby’s Respiratory Care
Equipment, 11th Edition
by J. M. Cairo Chapters 1 - 15
,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.

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
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.
ANSWER: A
Work is performed only when effort or outside forces produce a change in the position of
matter.
