Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although it was originally developed to enhance the capabilities of home CPAP systems used for management of OSA, BiPAP has since been successfully used in the home and the hospital for noninvasive ventilatory support of patients with acute and chronic respiratory failure. BiPAP has been found to be useful in the prevention of intubation in acute exacerbation of COPD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If delivered tidal volume is greater than the preset minimum tidal volume, the breath becomes a pressure-supported breath.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
