Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because the primary goal of mechanical ventilation is to provide adequate oxygenation at safe levels of FiO2 while maintaining adequate DO2 to the body, the inverse relation between PEEP and cardiac output must be considered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
HFV was designed to simultaneously maintain adequate ventilation and reduce alveolar collapse through ventilation with high expiratory lung volumes and rapid (up to 300 breaths/min), small tidal volumes (3 to 5 ml/kg).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
