Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The screen pneumotachograph is similar to Fleisch-type devices in that a heating element is in-corporated to prevent water condensation on the metal screens.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Inert gas techniques, such as helium dilution and nitrogen washout, can measure gas volumes on-ly in communicating airways. Body plethysmography measures all of the volume in the thorax. Therefore, inert gas measurements of functional residual capacity (FRC) for a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe air trapping will be lower than functional re-sidual capacity measurements obtained during body plethysmography.
