Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Effective IPPB requires careful preliminary planning, individualized patient assessment and im-plementation, and thoughtful follow-up. In all three phases of the process, the respiratory thera-pist should work closely with the prescribing physician to determine patient need, select the ap-propriate therapeutic approach, and assess patient progress toward predefined clinical outcomes.
