Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The RV and FRC are usually enlarged in acute and chronic obstructive lung diseases because of hyperinflation and air trapping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The TLC is always reduced in restrictive lung diseases because of a loss of lung volume; the RV and functional residual capacity are often reduced proportionately.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the gas normally used to measure the DL.
