Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Place heated humidifier thermistor probes in the inspiratory limb of a ventilator circuit far enough from the patient Y adaptor to ensure that warm exhaled gas does not fool the controller system. Never place a thermistor probe in an isolette or a radiant warmer, where the probe is warmed ex-ternally and the humidifier is fooled into shutting down, reducing the humidity available to the patient.
