Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The upper inflection point may indicate lung overdistention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The recruitment maneuver is stopped if there is a decrease in SpO2 to less than 88, a significant change in heart rate (>140 beats/min or <60 beats>20 mm Hg from baseline) or the development of cardi-ac arrhythmia.
