Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The occlusion alarm activates when the airway pressure remains +15 cm H2O above the positive end-expiratory pressure setting for 3 seconds after exhalation has begun or at the end of exhala-tion, whichever comes first. This could occur when a patient bites the endotracheal tube because biting the tube can keep the pressure elevated for long periods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The pNeuton operates normally up to an altitude of 15,000 feet. Altitude does not affect pressure settings.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
