Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: The ventilation time constant is calculated by multiplying the airway resistance by the lung compliance. That is,
(Raw)  (CL) = ventilation time constant
(1.3 cm H2O/L/sec)(0.2 ml/cm H2O) = 0.26 second
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

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: The normal range for work done by the respiratory muscles is 4 to 6 joules/minute. Normal respiratory muscles generally do not fatigue with work less than 20 to 25 joules/minute.
