Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When a rate control is used, inspiratory and expiratory times will vary according to other control settings, such as flow and volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When triggering by time, a ventilator initiates a breath according to a predetermined time inter-val, without regard to patient effort.
