Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
PEEP is the application of pressure above atmospheric pressure at the airway throughout expira-tion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Another example of patient cycling is the pressure support mode. Here, inspiration ends when flow decays to some preset value (i.e., flow cycling).
