Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When chest wall compliance decreases, there will be an increase in maximum inspiratory pressure and Pplateau.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Peak inspiratory pressure can be derived from continuous recordings of airway pressure that can be made during the breathing cycle by using a strain gauge transducer.
