Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If the system provides all of the patient's inspired gas, the FiO2 remains stable, even under changing demands.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A system that supplies only a portion of the inspired gas always provides a variable FiO2. An example of a variable-performance system is a nasal cannula.
