Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If the plateau pressure is less than 30 cm H2O, the high pressure limit can be adjusted to 10 to 20 cm H2O above the peak inspiratory pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
PEEP has been advocated in small increments (2 to 3 cm H2O) for overcoming auto-PEEP, par-ticularly in the care of patients with obstructive lung disease.
