Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
At this level of description, we can avoid the cumbersome verbal ad hoc definition for airway pressure release ventilation such as a mode that allows spontaneously breathing patients to breathe at a positive-pressure level, but drops briefly to a reduced pressure level for CO2 elimina-tion during each breathing cycle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A mandatory breath is a breath for which the machine sets the start time and/or the tidal volume. That is, the machine triggers and/or cycles the breath.
