Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Aspiration could lead to pneumonia; bronchiectasis is related to dilation and is not associated with aspiration. Neither pneumothorax nor emphysema is associated with aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The major mechanism of airflow limitation is a loss of elastic recoil, not excessive mucus as with bronchitis. The major mechanism of airflow limitation in this situation is not associated with in-fection or airway edema.
