When the maximum pressure limit is reached during volume ventilation, which of the following occurs?
 
  1. Inspiratory time is decreased.
  2. Volume delivered is decreased.
  3. Inspiration continues until volume is delivered.
  4. Pressure is held and the breath is volume cycled.
  a. 3 only
  b. 4 only
  c. 1 and 2 only
  d. 2 and 4 only



Q. 2  The variable that a ventilator uses to end inspiration is known as which of the following?
 
  a. Cycle
  b. Limit
  c. Trigger
  d. Baseline



Q. 3  The control variables most often used to ventilate infants are which of the following?
 
  a. Volume limited, time cycled ventilation
  b. Pressure limited, time cycled ventilation
  c. Pressure limited, pressure cycled ventila-tion
  d. Volume limited, volume cycled ventilation



Q. 4  The respiratory therapist enters the room of a patient being mechanically ventilated with volume ventilation. The high pressure alarm is sounding and the measured exhaled tidal volume is signif-icantly lower than what is set.
 
  The variable that is ending inspiration is which of the following?
  a. Time
  b. Flow
  c. Pressure
  d. Volume



Q. 5  A patient is receiving volume-controlled ventilation. The respiratory therapist notes the pres-sure-time scalar on the ventilator screen, shown in the figure. The most appropriate action to take includes which of the following?
 
  a. Increase the rate setting.
  b. Increase the baseline setting.
  c. Decrease the volume setting.
  d. Increase the sensitivity setting.



Q. 6  The inspiratory and expiratory flow sensors are reading a base flow of 5 L/min. The flow trigger is set to 2 L/min. The expiratory flow sensor must read what flow to trigger inspiration?
 
  a. 1 L/min
  b. 2 L/min
  c. 3 L/min
  d. 4 L/min
