Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
For the breath to be patient cycled, the patient must be able to change the inspiratory time, such as by making either inspiratory or expiratory efforts. If this is not possible, then the breath is, by definition, machine cycled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When a ventilator is set to flow cycle, it delivers flow until a preset level is met and then flow stops and expiration begins.
