Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The extension to the right and flattening out of the pressure-volume loop during VC-CMV is in-dicative of decreasing compliance. This could be caused by pneumonia. Asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema all have increased airway obstruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The inspiration is above the baseline and expiration is below the baseline in the flow-volume loop. The inspiratory flow pattern is rectangular.
