Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A mode related to PC-IRV is APRV, in which the patient breathes spontaneously throughout periods of high and low applied continuous positive airway pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Pressure-supported ventilation is a pressure-targeted mode of ventilation that is patient-triggered, pressure-limited, and flow-cycled breaths (Figure 46-16).
