Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because both concentrators and personal liquid O2 systems operate at low pressures, they cannot be used to drive equipment needing 50 psi, such as pneumatically powered ventilators and large-volume jet nebulizers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If the concentration is less than the manufacturer's specification at the given flow, the pellet can-isters are probably exhausted and should be replaced.
