Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The diagnosis of pneumothorax is established with chest radiography.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Reexpansion pulmonary edema occurs in a lung that has been rapidly reinflated from low lung volumes, particularly when the pneumothorax has been longstanding or when the pressure gradi-ent across the lung has become high, as might occur when there is endobronchial obstruction from cancer, mucus, or blood.
