Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Pulmonary edema, pneumonia, and mucous plugging are examples of clinical conditions that can precipitate respiratory failure rapidly in patients with significant neuromuscular weakness. Such patients may need observation of their respiratory status when they are in the hospital with these conditions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Patients with dyspnea, orthopnea, or impaired ability to maintain a patent airway should receive spirometry every 4 to 6 hr for documentation of function and assessment of the need for endo-tracheal intubation.
