MCQs for the Primary FRCACambridge University Press, 2008 M01 10 Designed for candidates sitting the primary FRCA examination, this book brings together exam questions from recent years and structures them into six practice papers. The format of 90 questions per paper echoes the exam itself. Following each paper a scoring chart and detailed explanations of answers are provided. The questions cover physiology, pharmacology, physics, clinical measurement and statistics as they appear in the primary FRCA. There are questions on all recently added exam topics, and those that now carry stronger emphasis and more weight such as resuscitation, sepsis and trauma. The latest drugs, equipment, monitoring techniques and safety procedures are referenced. Trainees will find this an invaluable tool for exam preparation, whether sitting the FRCA in the UK, through the London College external examiners in many Asian and African countries, or similar exams for anaesthetists in Australasia and North America. |

Page 290 - Therefore, it may be stated in general that the boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid becomes equal to the external pressure acting upon the surface of the liquid.
Page 246 - This is the law of the compressibility of gases ; it may be expressed as follows : At a constant temperature the volume of a given mass of gas varies inversely as the pressure sustained by it. If the volume of gas v under a pressure p becomes volume v' when the pressure is changed to p', then by the law: , H- = £- ; whence pv =p'v'.
Page 173 - A maximum or minimum value for a physical constant which is characteristic of the substance in question; eg, the critical temperature is the temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied by an increase in pres-sure.
Page 184 - Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.
Page 242 - Relative humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapour in a given volume of air to the mass required to saturate that given volume of air at the same temperature.
Page 292 - The hydrogen-ion concentration is frequently expressed in terms of the pH of a solution, which is defined as the negative logarithm to the base 10 of the...
Page 178 - ... The unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) is the kelvin (K). It should be noted that the word "degree," or its symbol, is not used in conjunction with this unit. The kelvin is the unit of thermodynamic temperature and is defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.
