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

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

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

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