Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requires a precise FIO2 because of carbon dioxide (CO2) retention issues. The only precise FIO2 device is a Venturi mask, which is consid-ered a high-flow device.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Partial obstruction of oxygen flow downstream of the jet orifice or partial obstruction of the en-trainment ports will decrease the amount of room air entrained, thus raising the FIO2 of the deliv-ered gas.
