  tidal volume, 475 mL; peak inspiratory pressure, 30 cm H2O; plateau pressure, 10 cm H2O; and flow rate, 45 L/min?
  a. 4 cm H2O c. 20 cm H2O
  b. 7 cm H2O d. 27 cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pressure-support ventilation is a spontaneous breath type of ventilation that allows the operator to select a pressure to support the patient's work of breathing and counteract airway resistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The safe starting point for pressure support is the transairway pressure value (Peak inspiratory pressure  Plateau pressure). In this case, transairway pressure = 30 cm H2O  10 cm H2O = 20 cm H2O.
