Control values are running outside the acceptable range of a stable analyzer for the last 5 days. The scientist in charge has troubleshooted possible causes and has discovered that the pipette used in the reconstitution of the controls needs calibration. This represents an error in which phase of laboratory analysis?

A patient is receiving mechanical ventilation with a fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 0.85 and a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O. His arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is 68 mm Hg, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) is 88%, and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) is 32 mm Hg. Over the next few minutes his PEEP is titrated resulting in the following data: Time FIO2 PEEP (cm H2O) SpO2 (%) PetCO2 (mm Hg) 0600 0.85 5 88 30 0630 0.85 8 88 30 0650 0.85 10 90 32 0720 0.80 12 93 34 0740 0.80 15 90 25 what action should the respiratory therapist take at this time?

A 36-year-old female patient with a history of asthma is admitted to the ICU from the emergency department and placed on nasal cannula 6 L/min. The patient is 5’5″ and weighs 135 lb. Respirations are 33 bpm, very labored, with accessory muscle use and bilateral inspiratory and expiratory wheezing. There is bilateral hyper resonance during chest percussion. after 1 hour of continuous aerosolized albuterol (15 mg) reveals: pH 7.32 (PaCO2) 45 mm Hg (PaO2) 53 mm Hg (SaO2) 88% (HCO3-) 25 mEq/L The most appropriate action at this time is which of the following?

In the text box below, write a switch structure which displays Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, if day is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, respectively. To earn full credit on this exercise, I should be able to copy your switch structure from the text box, paste it into a main() method in NetBeans, and it must work as specified. . Here is an example of what the beginning of the switch should look like. Assume that the day variable has been declared and initialized to an int value between 0 and 6: switch(day) { }
