Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The manufacturer-recommended flow rate is 6-8 L/min.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Large prongs decrease blood flow to the area, causing blanching of the rim of the nostrils. The bubbling in the continuous positive airway pressure generator should be gentle and continuous. If the prongs are too small, there will be an increase in airway pressure, and gas will leak from the system. The prongs should be placed, with the curved side down, into the infant's nostrils.
