Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
For best results, the patient should be in a semi-Fowler's position.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because pressure-cycled IPPB devices will not end inspiration if leaks in the system occur, it is important to check the patency of the patient's breathing circuit before each use.
