Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Alternative lung protective strategies in patients with ALI/ARDS include prone positioning, ECMO, and high-frequency ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
PCV may be used immediately upon ventilator initiation when limiting the plateau pressure is a concern and in the care of patients expected to need prolonged inspiration or an increased 1:E ratio (1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1). These patients typically have acute lung injury or ARDS.
