Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Infusion ports can be added along the tubing for infusing medications in patients who have lim-ited IV access. These ports can also be an option for access when Continuous Veno Venous He-mofiltration (CVVH) is required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ECMO system is powered by the blood pump. The pump function is to draw blood in, either from a venous reservoir (the bladder) or directly from the venous circulation, pump it through the oxygenator and then into the patient.
