Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the acute care setting, NIV can be initiated in the emergency department, critical care unit, intermediate care unit, or hospital ward.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Successful application of NIV is easy to define: the patient's blood gases improve, PaCO2 de-creases, and pH normalizes, while PaO2 increases.
