Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Inadequate ventilation decreases the amount of carbon dioxide excreted by the lungs. This causes a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, which is hypercapnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Cardiopulmonary Venturi applies a negative pressure to the airway only during the very be-ginning of the exhalation phase. This facilitates removal of air from the patient circuit and is in-tended to reduce the resistance to exhalation throughout the circuit at the start of exhalation.
