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.
