Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In the assist/control volume-cycled mode, inspiration is time-triggered or pressure-triggered as well as volume-targeted, flow-limited, and volume-cycled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When pressure decreases 0.25 cm H2O below baseline pressure, the leak-compensation feature introduces small amounts of flow into the circuit in an attempt to reestablish baseline pressure.
