Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Generally, a constant flow pattern provides the shortest inspiratory time (TI) of all the available flow patterns with an equivalent peak flow rate setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Slower flows may reduce peak pressures, improve gas distribution, and increase at the expense of increasing inspiratory time (TI). Unfortunately, shorter expiratory time (TE) can lead to air trap-ping, while using a longer TI may cause cardiovascular side effects.
