Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
One time constant allows 63 of the volume to be inhaled; 2 time constants allow about 86 of the volume to be inhaled; 3 time constants allow about 95 to be inhaled; 4 time constants allow about 98 to be inhaled; and 5 time constants allow 100 to be inhaled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Time constant (TC) = C (L/cm H2O)  R (cm H2O/(L/sec)). 100 of the volume will be delivered in 5 time constants. Therefore, multiply 5 times the time constant.
