Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A limiting variable has a maximum value that cannot be exceeded during inspiration because the ventilator does not allow it; however, reaching the limit does not end inspiratory flow to the pa-tient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
During pressure-targeted ventilation, volume delivery varies with the set inspiratory time and the patient's lung characteristics. When the patient's lung compliance is decreased, the lungs are stiff, and less volume is delivered for the same amount of pressure.
