Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With mandatory minute volume ventilation, the ventilator provides mandatory breathing only if the patient's spontaneous breathing is not adequate and drops below the preselected maximum voluntary ventilation setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Proportional pressure support is a spontaneous breathing mode in which the pressure support is applied in proportion to the patient's breathing effort.
