Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The high-flow nasal cannula humidifier will prevent an increase in humidity deficit because it us-es a special bubble humidifier that can accommodate the rapid flow rates and still humidify the gas.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The effectiveness of bubble humidifiers depends of the presence of a diffuser, the water level in the humidifier, and the surface area between the gas and water. The length of the oxygen tubing being used will not affect the efficiency of the bubble humidifier.
