A respiratory therapist is called to pediatric ICU to suction a 6-year-old ventilator patient with pneumonia who is intubated with a 5.0 mm ETT.  Which of the following represents the most appropriate catheter size and suction pressure to use on the patient?

The respiratory therapist notices on a patient’s chest tube drainage system that there is fluctuation of the water level in the water seal chamber with each patient breath and air bubbles seen only in the suction control chamber, which has a suction pressure of -15 cm H20.  The most appropriate action is which of the following?

Everything else held constant, a decrease in checkable deposit balances will mean ________ in the M2 money multiplier and ________ in the M2 money supply.

Suppose that the banking system currently has no excess reserves and that a bank receives a deposit into a checking account of $50,000 in currency. Using the excess reserve (simple deposit) multiplier, if the required reserve ratio is 0.1, what is the maximum amount that the banking system can lend out?

10-point question Evaluate both of the following statements as true or false and explain your reasoning.     a. “If banks increase their excess reserves, the monetary base will increase. If the monetary base increases, the          money supply will increase. Therefore, an increase in excess reserves increases the money supply”.     b. The most important factor accounting for changes in the money supply in the long run is changes in bank         lending policies that affect the money multiplier.
