Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Full ventilatory support is provided when the ventilator-initiated rates are 8 breaths/min or more.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an accepted method used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) would be appropriate if the patient had central sleep apnea, since there would be no respiratory efforts during the apnea periods. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) and pressure- controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) would require the patient to be intubated.
