Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The recruitment maneuver used to expand collapsed areas of the lung involves using a sustained high pressure of 35-45 cm H2O for 40-60 seconds.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Intrinsic PEEP = level 3; High respiratory rate = level 3; Humidification malfunction = level 2; Exhalation valve failure = level 1.
