Answer to Question 1

C
The examination should be performed 1 week after the period has begun, or on a specific date if menses has stopped.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E
Interstitial edema will cause problems that affect the alveoli: thickened walls and filling with fluid that obstructs gas exchange across the thickened walls. Pus formation is associated with infection. Surfactant decreases surface tension on the alveolar wall, allowing it to expand more easily with inspiration and preventing alveolar collapse on expiration.
