  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?

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

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.
