1.  In mechanical ventilation, what does the "Breath Sequence" category describe?
  1. The method used to achieve pre-set targets
  2. The classification of control variables
  3. The pattern of mandatory and spontaneous breaths
  4. The real-time adjustment of pressure and flow
2.  What are the primary components of a mode of ventilation?
  1. Control variable, temperature, targeting scheme
  2. Control variable, breath sequence, alarm system
  3. Control variable, breath sequence, targeting scheme
  4. Control variable, humidification, patient demographics
3.  What distinguishes IMV(2) from IMV(1)?
  1. IMV(2) emphasizes monitoring patient effort
  2. IMV(2) prioritizes spontaneous breath rate over mandatory breath rate
  3. IMV(2) focuses on minute ventilation control
  4. IMV(2) allows for complete patient control
4.  How does the ventilator behave regarding inspiratory pressure in the Bio-variable targeting scheme?
  1. It keeps inspiratory pressure constant throughout ventilation
  2. It relies on patient-set inspiratory pressure levels
  3. It adapts to changes in patient effort
  4. It randomly changes inspiratory pressure
5.  What is the primary clinical objective of liberation modes in ventilatory support?
  1. Minimizing adverse events during ventilation
  2. Maximizing the duration of ventilation
  3. Automatically adjusting patient parameters for comfort
  4. Manually initiating spontaneous breathing trials
