How should a volume-regulated ventilator for NIV be adjusted to deliver the appropriate tidal volume (VT) to a pediatric patient? a. The preset VT should be equal to the patient's estimated anatomic dead space volume. b. The delivered VT should be equal to the estimated anatomic dead space divided by the patient's respiratory rate. c. The VT should be set by dividing the patient's PaCO2 by two. d. The delivered VT should be set at twice the child's physiologic VT.

d. The delivered VT should be set at twice the child's physiologic VT.

How should a therapist determine the size of the nasal prongs to effectively administer CPAP to infants? a. The prongs should occlude only 50% of the external nares diameter. b. The prongs should occlude at least 75% of the external nares diameter. c. The prongs should occlude 100% of the external nares diameter with minimal blanching. d. The prongs should occlude 100% of the external nares diameter without blanching.

d. The prongs should occlude 100% of the external nares diameter without blanching.

A patient receiving bilevel ventilation develops a small leak at the interface. What action should the therapist take at this time? a. The therapist should increase the pressure limit. b. The therapist should increase the inspiratory flow. c. The therapist should increase the length of the inspiratory time. d. The therapist should verify that the ventilator automatically compensates for this leak.
