Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If the NeoFlow sensor becomes partially occluded with water (or secretions), it will cease opera-tion and trigger audible and visual alarms. When this occurs, the ventilator will continue to oper-ate in the pressure-control mode.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A trigger range of 0.3 to 3 L/min is recommended for neonatal and pediatric ventilation.
