Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During volume-controlled ventilation, the peak inspiratory pressure generated by the delivery of the volume varies according to the characteristics of the lungs. Worsening lung compliance is in-dicative of stiffening lungs. This would cause more pressure to be generated during the delivery of a set volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The sine-like flow waveform begins at zero and reaches the maximum inspiratory flow in the middle of inspiration. It then tapers down to zero.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
