breathing. The mandatory rate is 14/min. Which of the following would
most likely help the patient?
a. Use of pressure support
b. Switch to pressure control ventilation
c. Increase the machine flow rate
d. Increase PEEP - ANS ✓a. Use of pressure support

When analyzing the FIO2 for an infant in an oxygen hood receiving oxygen
therapy with a blender set at 50%, the respiratory therapist notes an
oxygen concentration of 35% near the patient's mouth. The jet nebulizer
entrainment setting is set to 50%. To correct the problem, the therapist
should
a. Obtain a smaller oxyhood
b. Increase total flow to the oxyhood
c. Adjust blender setting to 60%
