Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most common problem with positive airway pressure therapies is system leaks.

Answer to Question 2

An IPPB device may cycle off prematurely when airflow is obstructed. Kinked tubing, an oc-cluded mouthpiece, and active resistance to inhalation by the patient are the most common causes of this problem.
