Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In an apneic patient receiving volume control ventilation, an inspiratory time that is too short (i.e., <0.5 second) may result in an increase in physiological dead space. Large I:E ratios and addition of an inflation hold increase the mean airway pressure. A slow flow rate can inverse the I:E ratio and also cause an increase in mean airway pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
MABP  ICP = CPP

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
