Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Placing a patient with ARDS in a prone position restricts chest wall movement, thereby prevent-ing severe transpulmonary pressure from causing alveolar stretch and edema, or shear stress. In-creasing the FIO2 may cause more atelectasis, which could worsen the situation. Decreasing PEEP would derecruit alveoli, shifting the volume to more compliant areas, which could increase the amount of lung injury. Using tidal volumes of 10-12 mL/kg would increase the risk of lung injury.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Pulmonary epithelial and alveolar macrophages are partly responsible for the production of in-flammatory mediators in response to harmful ventilator strategies. This can occur within 1-3 hours of initiation of ventilation.
