Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: A person's biologic respiratory control system is responsible for control of spontaneous ventilation and is composed of four components: (1) central controller, (2) connecting nerves, (3) ventilatory pump (respiratory muscles), and (4) sensors (e.g., chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors).
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving PSV demonstrated increased chemoreceptor response, evidenced by a hypocapnia and a larger tidal volume.
B. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patient receiving PAV essentially maintained a constant PaCO2 (eupnea).
C. Correct response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving either ACV or PSV experienced increased chemoreceptor response, demonstrated by hypocapnia and an increased VT.
D. Incorrect response: In response to increasing levels of FICO2, patients receiving ACV demonstrated increased chemoreceptor response, evidenced by a hypocapnia and a greater tidal volume.
