II.flow
III.rate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In volume-targeted ventilation, the machine delivers a set tidal volume to the patient with each breath. The volume setting directly determines the machine-delivered tidal volume (I) while the rate setting determines the number of breaths per minute (III). The flow setting determines how quickly the tidal volume is delivered, but it does not directly impact the minute volume as long as the tidal volume and rate settings are held constant. Therefore, only the volume and rate settings determine the machine-delivered minute volume, making choice B (I and III) the correct answer.
