Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bilevel positive airway pressure is similar to continuous positive airway pressure in that both breath delivery techniques provide positive pressure during inspiration and expiration. With bi-level positive airway pressure, the inspiratory positive airway pressure is higher than the expira-tory positive airway pressure. Because bilevel positive airway pressure can be either patient trig-gered or time triggered, it can be used in the hospital setting for noninvasive ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Bilevel positive airway pressure is commonly used to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
