Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
If everything is equal, the largest tidal volume will be produced with the greatest pressure sup-port DIF.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Overtightened headgear straps can lead to redness and irritation of the skin and the potential for ulceration. Straps that are too tight may cause the mask to leak more. Nasal air leak is a disad-vantage of mouthpieces, as is hypersalivation.
