Answer to Question 1

C
The nasal cannula is used with an oxygen flow rate of 1 to 6 L/min. The face tent provides high humidity, and mist is expected. The reservoir of the rebreathing mask remains partially inflated when operating effectively to avoid rebreathing of carbon dioxide. The flow rate for an oxygen hood may be 5 L/min or more to prevent CO2 narcosis.

Answer to Question 2

Air-suspension
Air-suspension beds are for patients who are immobile or otherwise are confined to the bed. The air-suspension bed supports a patient's weight on air-filled cushions.
