Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Because alveoli affected by ALI/ARDS have short-time constants, more time is allotted for in-spiration and less time is allotted for expiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation may be used to reduce airway and alveolar pressures in any ventilated patient.
