Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The flutter valve is readily accepted by patients, inexpensive, and fully portable and does not re-quire caregiver assistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation is an airway clearance technique that uses a pneumatic de-vice to deliver a series of pressurized gas minibursts at rates of 100 to 225 cycles/min (1.6 to 3.75 Hz) to the respiratory tract, usually via a mouthpiece.
