Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The general assessment, common to all patients for whom IPPB is ordered, includes (1) meas-urement of vital signs, (2) observational assessment of the patient's appearance and sensorium, and (3) breathing pattern and chest auscultation. The more focused assessment is individualized according to the identified clinical goals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To eliminate airway leaks in the alert patient, an initial trial of nose clips may be needed until the technique is understood and the treatment can be performed without them.
