 Caregiver and patient (if possible) comprehension of equipment and procedures
 Compliance with plan of care

ANS: B
The goals of mechanical ventilatory support in newborns and pediatric patients are to (a) provide adequate ventilation and oxygenation, (b) achieve adequate lung volume, (c) improve lung com-pliance, (d) reduce WOB, and (e) limit lung injury.
