Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
An arterial blood gas sample should be obtained about 15 minutes following the initiation of mechanical ventilation. This is vital for the evaluation of the effectiveness of ventilation and ox-ygenation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The use of positive pressure in patients with left ventricular failure will reduce venous return and therefore reduce preload to the left ventricle.
