Answer to Question 1

B
Varicose (fusiform) bronchiectasis is differentiated by irregularly dilated and constricted bronchi. Cystic (saccular) bronchiectasis is differentiated by large, cystlike sacs in the lung parenchyma. Cylindrical (tubular) bronchiectasis is differentiated by rigid and dilated bronchi.

Answer to Question 2

A
Late clinical manifestations that an infant is having respiratory distress include decreased respiratory rate, CO2 retention, and other signs. He or she will have lethargy and other signs early on. Elevated diaphragm is not an early or late sign of respiratory distress.
