Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Examples of disease states or conditions that typically warrant an initial FiO2 of 1.0 include acute pulmonary edema, ARDS, near drowning, cardiac arrest, severe trauma, suspected aspiration, severe pneumonia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and any disease state or condition resulting in a large right-to-left shunt.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This value corresponds to an initial peak flow setting of approximately 60 L/min with a range of 40 to 80 L/min and a down ramp or square flow waveform.
