Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In case of fire, affected zones can be isolated, thus preventing the problem from spreading to other areas of the hospital. And always remember patient safety in terms of applying the appro-priate oxygen to each patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The concentration of oxygen leaving the system depends on the flow rate set. For example, at flows less than 6 L/min, the gas contains approximately 92 to 97 oxygen.
