(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: C
As applied to airway clearance, oscillation refers to the rapid vibratory movement of small vol-umes of air back and forth in the respiratory tract.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: C
High-frequency chest wall oscillation is accomplished by using a two-part system: (1) a variable air-pulse generator and (2) a nonstretch inflatable vest that covers the patient's entire torso (The Vest Airway Clearance System).

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: C
Typically, respiratory therapists perform 30-min therapy sessions at oscillatory frequencies be-tween 5 and 25 hertz (Hz). Depending on need and response, between one and six therapy ses-sions may occur per day.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: C
Compression frequency and flow bias (inspiratory vs. expiratory) determine the effectiveness of therapy.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: A
The recommended starting pressure and time for applying MIE to adults is 30 to 50 cm H2O at 1 to 3 sec. From there, pressures can be adjusted accordingly.
