Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The baseline variable is the parameter that generally is controlled during exhalation. Although either volume or flow could serve as a baseline variable, pressure is the most practical choice and is used by all modern ventilators.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the patient is not triggering a breath, as with sedation, the set mechanical ventilator rate will be time-triggered based on the backup set rate.
