Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Pplateau is measured during mechanical ventilation and represents the amount of pressure needed to maintain the tidal volume within the patient's lungs during a period of no gas flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEV1 and peak expiratory flows are routine measurements during spirometry. Maximum inspira-tory pressure is a common airway pressure measurement made on spontaneously breathing pa-tients. Raw is calculated by subtracting plateau pressure (Pplateau) from peak inspiratory pressure and dividing the resultant pressure by the airflow.
