Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Adding or increasing inspiratory rise time changes the rate of gas delivery at the very beginning of inspiration. This tapers the rise of pressure and flow delivery until they reach their maximum value.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This statement describes an adaptive mode because the ventilator has one set-point and automat-ically adjusts the set-point to achieve another set-point as the patient's condition changes.
