B) Less collapsible extrathoracic airways

C) More compliant collapsible chest wall

D) All of the above

2) Typical apnea monitors use:

C) A & B

D) None of the above

3) Bronchopulmonary dysplasia:

A) Is typically suspected when a ventilated infant is unable to wean from O2 therapy, mechanical ventilation, or both

B) Is caused by low concentrations of inspired O2 typically in patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation
