Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The use of intermittent positive-pressure breathing declined significantly in the mid-1980s after a randomized, controlled trial revealed no benefit, compared to a simple small-volume nebulizer, in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Avoiding intubation and invasive positive-pressure ventilation, improving survival, decreasing the length of ventilatory support, decreasing the length of hospitalization, and decreasing the inci-dence of ventilator-associated pneumonia are major goals of NIV in the acute care setting (emer-gency department, intensive care unit, or hospital ward).
