Answer to Question 1

B
When a patient is intubated and develops pneumonia more than 48 to 72 hours later, he or she is found to have VAP. The patient may not actually need mechanical ventilation. The likely cause of the pneumonia is microaspiration of oral secretions around the endotracheal tube cuff.

Answer to Question 2

A
TTN manifests itself clinically as a restrictive pulmonary disorder because excess fluid in the lungs limits inspiration.
