Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Pressure-regulated volume control is a breath pattern for which the pressure-limit value is set by the operator, along with the minimum volume that needs to be delivered. The conditional varia-ble, volume, is measured by the ventilator, and the pressure setting may be increased or decreased depending on that measurement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A dual-control, breath-variable mode allows the ventilator to switch from pressure control to volume control or vice versa within a breath. In this type of mode, the primary breath control is both volume and pressure.
