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

MULTIPLE CHOICE h
1. Power is a measure of which of the following?
h h h h h h h h
a. Mechanical energy h
b. Gravitational potential energy h h
c. The rate at which work is being performed
h h h h h h h
d. The rate at which atoms and molecules move
h h h h h h h
ANSWER: C h
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. The formula P = W/J, where
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hW = watts and 1 watt is equal to 1 J/s, expresses this. Joules are the international standard for

2. When effort produces a change in the position of matter:
h h h h h h h h h
a. work is performed. h h
b. it is known as a joule.
h h h h h
c. mechanical power is created. h h h
d. the law of the conservation of energy is being used.
h h h h h h h h h
ANSWER: A h
Work is performed only when effort or outside forces produce a change in the position of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hmatter.

3. The unit used to express the force of 1 newton (N) acting on a 1-kilogram (kg) object to move
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hit 1 meter (m) is which of the following?
h h h h h h h h
a. Watt c. Kilowatt
b. Joule d. Kinetic energy
h h
ANSWER: B h
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
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hsimply 1000 W. Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses when it is in motion.
