Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Misallocation has led to the use of respiratory care protocols that are implemented by respiratory therapists (as described under Methods for Enhancing the Quality of Respiratory Care).

Answer to Question 2

Perhaps the most essential aspect of providing quality respiratory care is to ensure that the care being provided is indicated and that it is delivered competently and appropriately.
