Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Computer algorithms use standard reference predicted values to aid in the interpretation of pul-monary function tests (PFTs), including spirometry, lung volume, diffusing capacity, and bron-chodilator response.

ANS: B
An automated protocol for discontinuation of mechanical ventilation with use of a hand-held computer has been associated with a shortened time to the first spontaneous breathing trial and a decreased length of stay in the intensive care unit.
