Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As the mode is changed from CPAP to PSV to synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation to time-triggered CMV, the ventilator assumes more of the work.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
During pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation, the pressure delivered is constant. In lung mechanics, pressure = tidal volume/lung compliance. Since pressure is constant when lung compliance increases the tidal volume also increases.
