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

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

3. The unit used to express the force of 1 newton (N) acting on a 1-kilogram (kg) object to
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
moveit 1 meter (m) is which of the following?
c c c c c c c c c c
a. Watt c. Kilowatt
b. Joule d. Kinetic energy
c c
ANSWER: B c
One joule is equal to the force of 1 N acting on 1 kg. A watt is equivalent to 1 J/s. A kilowatt
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
issimply 1000 W. Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses when it is in motion.
