?ANS: B?I. Incorrect response: Inspiration and exhalation are phases of the respiratory cycle, not phase variables.
II. Incorrect response: Flow is not a phase variable.
III. Correct response: Cycle and trigger are referred to as phase variables in the context described below. Every breath has four phases: (1) the change from exhalation to inspiration (trigger), (2) the variable that reaches a plateau before the end of inspiration, but is not responsible for terminating inspiration (limit), (3) the change from inspiration to exhalation (cycle), and (4) baseline (i.e., PEEP).
IV. Correct response: The term trigger applies to the phase variable that causes inspiration to begin. Inspiration can be either pressure, volume, flow, or time triggered.
