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.
PTS: 1 REF: Page 8
3. The unit used to express the force of 1 newton (N) acting on a 1-kilogram (kg) object to move
it 1 meter (m) is which of the following?
a. Watt c. Kilowatt
b. Joule d. Kinetic energy
ANSWER: B
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
simply 1000 W. Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses when it is in motion.
, PTS: 1 REF: Page 8
4. Power is expressed in which of the following units?
a. Newtons c. Ohms
b. Joules d. Watts
ANSWER: D
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. Energy and work are
measured in joules. One joule is the force of 1 N acting on a 1-kg object to move it 1 m. Ohms
is the resistance an electrical circuit possesses.

, 5. Four horsepower (hp) is equal to how many kilowatts (kW)?
a. 5.36 c. 2984
b. 2.98 d. 186.5
ANSWER: B
1 hp = 0.746 kW.
1 hp/0.746 = 4 hp/X.
X=4 0.476 = 2.98 kW.
