Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
During positive pressure mechanical ventilation, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is the pressure necessary to overcome airway resistance and lung and chest wall compliance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The currently acceptable tidal volume for a mechanically ventilated patient with ARDS in acute respiratory failure is 4 to 8 ml/kg. Therefore, the VT must be set between 280 (70 kg  4 ml/kg) and 560 ml (70 kg  8 ml/kg).
