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.
