Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The jet valve fault alarm alerts the clinician that the pinch valve in the patient box is not func-tioning appropriately. This could be because of a worn-out pinch valve tube.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Life Pulse High-Frequency Jet Ventilator can provide 240 to 660 insufflations/min. The range 660 to 900 insufflations/min is considered high-frequency oscillation. The range 60 to 150 insufflations/min is considered high-frequency positive pressure ventilation.
