Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Transairway pressure = Peak inspiratory pressure  Plateau pressure = 35 cm H2O  20 cm H2O = 15 cm H2O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Continuous positive airway pressure is a technique in which a patient breathes spontaneously at an elevated baseline pressure. This increases the functional residual capacity and mean airway pressure and improves lung recruitment and oxygenation.
