Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
For minimization of the potential for volutrauma, the PIP should be kept at less than 30 cm H2O for larger premature infants and even lower PIP for more immature infants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) are the traditional support modes used to manage RDS. Surfactant replacement therapy and high-frequency ventilation (HFV) have been added to these traditional approaches.
