Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In most new ventilators, a flow transducer is incorporated into the system design to give contin-ual updates on the tidal volume and minute volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Minute volume = tidal volume  respiratory rate.
Tidal volume = minute volume  respiratory rate.
Tidal volume = 8.5 L/min  15 breaths/min.
Tidal volume = 0.570 L.
