Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: During HFOV, fresh gas is supplied with the ventilator circuit as a bias flow. The mean airway pressure is adjusted by the relationship between fresh gas inflow and any positive or negative pressure placed on the gas outflow from the bias flow circuit.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: High-frequency jets operate on the principle of a nozzle or an injector that creates a high velocity jet of gas directed into the patient's lungs. These injectors are usually 1 to 3 cm in diameter, and can be placed in one of several locations in the ventilator circuit and/or patient airway. Generally the further down the airway the injector is placed, the less is the patient's functional dead space.
