Which statement made by a new graduate nurse about invasive mechanical ventilation techniques is inc

Which statement made by a new graduate nurse about invasive mechanical ventilation techniques is incorrect and requires additional teaching?
1. "Assist control mode refers to the patient receiving a set total lung capacity (TLC) but the rate can be modified by the patient's own rate of breathing."
2. "Total control mode controls both the rate and volume that are preset and delivered without the machine responding to any of the patient's own breaths."
3. "Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) refers to the patient setting an independent rate but limited tidal volume based on the patient's own strength. A minimum rate is also used as a backup to prevent hypoventilation."
4. "Continuous positive airway pressure will increase the residual capacity and keep the alveoli open. Rate and volume are controlled by the patient. This is one step in the weaning process."
