Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Poiseuille's law states that a twofold decrease in airway diameter results in a 16-fold increase in Raw. Boyle's law and Charles' law address the relationships among pressure, volume, and tem-perature. Avogadro's law is concerned with the number of molecules in a volume of gas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Pplateau is measured during mechanical ventilation by temporarily occluding the expiratory valve of the ventilator at the end of a tidal inspiration and noting the new pressure level.
