Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
IPPB may be useful for patients with clinically diagnosed atelectasis not responsive to other therapies, such as incentive spirometry and chest physiotherapy. In addition, IPPB may be useful for patients who are at high risk for atelectasis and not able to cooperate with more simple tech-niques such as IS.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Correct technique calls for diaphragmatic breathing at slow-to-moderate inspiratory flows.
