Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The descending ramp flow pattern keeps mean airway pressure high and may improve gas distri-bution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Studies comparing the descending flow pattern with the constant flow pattern suggest that the descending flow pattern improves the distribution of gas in the lungs.
