Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Hydrostatic pulmonary edema is often also called cardiogenic pulmonary edema, due to its close association with abnormalities in intravascular hydrostatic pressures that cause edema.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As with increasing PEEP, improvements in arterial oxygenation attendant to reducing PCWP must be weighed against reduced cardiac output, as reflected by the measured DO2 or other measures of systemic tissue oxygenation.
