Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The standard alarms on the GE Carestation include high and low minute volumes, high and low respiratory rates, high and low airway pressures, and high and low end-tidal carbon dioxide.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli, alveolar gas and arterial blood oxygen pressure dif-ference, partial pressure of oxygen in the arteries/fractional inspired oxygen, carbon monoxide, and dead space-to-tidal volume ratio all are calculated with the INview Vent Calculations.
