Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
ARDS is a clinical disorder that benefits from the use of PEEP. The other three choices are ob-structive lung diseases and will not benefit from the use of PEEP therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
At pressures above 15-20 cm H2O, the compliance measurement is not a good indicator of cardi-ovascular function, and monitoring of the pulmonary artery pressure may be indicated.
