  2. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation(SIMV)
  3. Pressure controlled ventilation (PCV)
  4. Pressure- regulated volume control (PRVC)
Explanation
Answer: B - The type of ventilator that is most appropriate for the patient who requires minimal ventilator support is the synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation delivers a preset volume and rate and matches the patient’s effort. SIMV prevents the patient and the ventilator from competing with one another.
