Answer to Question 1

D
Expiratory flow in medium-size to small airways is assessed by the FEF25-75 test. Other tests would be needed to assess the other listed options.

Answer to Question 2

Because of airway narrowing problems, a patient with obstructive lung disease will have a reduced FEV1 volume and FEV1 flow. A patient with restrictive lung problems may have FEV1 reduced and FEV1 normal. The other combinations are not seen.
