Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Volume ventilation with a constant flow will produce a rectangular flow curve unless a different flow pattern is chosen. Pressure ventilation creates a descending curve that varies with both lung characteristics and patient flow demand.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the flow rate setting is inadequate, the pressure-time scalar takes on a concave shape dur-ing inspiration when the patient is actively inhaling. In this case the demand exceeds the ventila-tor setting and capability. The inspiratory demand of the patient will be provided for by increas-ing the set flow.
