Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In patients with an intact upper airway for whom noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is contraindicated or unsuccessful, a negative pressure ventilator should be considered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A second back-up ventilator should be provided for patients who cannot maintain spontaneous ventilation for more than four consecutive hours, for patients living in an area where a replace-ment ventilator cannot be secured within 2 hr, and for patients whose care plan requires mechan-ical ventilation during mobility.
