Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During volume control ventilation, changes in lung characteristics cause changes in pressure. In-creasing airway resistance causes an increase in the amount of pressure required to deliver the volume, thereby increasing peak airway pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) is appropriate for this patient because during the periods of apnea there are no respiratory efforts. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an accepted method used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) and pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) would require the patient to be intubated.
