,This evidence-
based test bank walks readers through the most fundamental and advanced concepts
s urrounding mechanical ventilation and guides them in properly applying these
principle s to patient care. This edition features a completely revised chapter on
ventilator graphi cs, additional case studies and clinicalZscenarios, plus all the reader-
friendly features that promote critical thinkingZ and clinical application —
like key points, AARC clinical practice guidelines, and critical care concepts — thatZ
have helped make this test bank a household name among respiratory care profes
sionals.

MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The structure that is responsible for returning oxygenated blood to the heart is the a.
Pulmonary artery.
b. Pulmonary vein.
c. Superior vena cava.
d. Inferior vena cava.
ANS: B
The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood to the heart. The pulmonary artery carries deo
xygenated blood from the heartZto the lungs. Both venae cavae return blood to the right atriu
m of the heart.
