Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nocturnal use of NIV (4-6 hours) can have certain clinical benefits for patients with chronic hypoventilation disorders. The most significant of these are improvement of symptoms associated with chronic hypoventilation and an improved quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
NIV is currently considered the standard of care for the treatment of COPD exacerbation in se-lected patients. Specific criteria for the selection of asthma patients to receive NIV have not yet been developed. NIV may be appropriate in patients who do not respond to conventional treat-ment methods. Unless a patient has COPD and CAP, caution should be used when treating pa-tients with NIV. Mask CPAP is the standard of care for ACPE.
