Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Prevention Bundle is the use of multiple evidence-based best practices to prevent device-related infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
By replacing an active humidification system by a passive humidification one (HME), there will be less condensation in the circuit because no water is being used to heat and moisten the air, but instead the patient's own body heat is used. Draining the circuit daily, not using heat, or lowering the heater temperature is not acceptable and may place the patient at risk of infection caused by inspissated secretions among other consequences.
