Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The lung must respond to the damage and repair itself. If the exposure to the causative agent per-sists or if the repair process is imperfect, the lung may be permanently damaged with increased interstitial tissue replacing the normal capillaries, alveoli, and healthy interstitium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Sarcoidosis is not an occupationally related ILD (see Figure 26-1).
