Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Inspiratory time dictates the amount of time that a ventilator spends in the inspiratory phase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When the maximum safety pressure is reached, the ventilator sounds an alarm, limits the pressure, and cycles out of inspiration, ending inspiration early.
