Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Recommended guidelines are to target the VT to 5-8 mL/kg ideal body weight (IBW) while en-suring that the plateau pressure (Pplateau) is maintained at less than 30 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) are both within normal limits. Therefore, there is no pulmonary hypertension and no right ventricular failure. The bilateral infiltrates with a normal pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) do not suggest cardiogenic pulmonary edema but are indicative of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
