Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: With ACV, airway pressure and respiratory muscle pressure are inversely related.
B. Correct response: With PSV, airway pressure and respiratory muscle pressure are unrelated.
C. Incorrect response: With PAV, airway pressure and respiratory muscle pressure are proportionally related.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: When a ventilator is neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA) triggered, ventilator triggering is independent of respiratory mechanics (lung compliance and airway resistance), auto-PEEP, and system leaks.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
