Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The face tent and tracheostomy collar are patient interface appliances used to deliver bland aero-sol therapy. The others are not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Change to a heated-wick humidifier, which is a heated humidifier that is appropriate when air-ways are hyperreactive. Ultrasonic nebulizers and large-volume nebulizers will worsen bron-chospasms because they also create bland aerosol.

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.
