Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: ARDS and ALI are parenchymal lung injuries that have specific diagnostic criteria. Both have acute onset and bilateral infiltrates on chest radiography. Neither injury reflects cardiogenic edema. The PCWP will therefore be less than 18 mm Hg, and the Pao2/Fio2 ratios will be less than 200 for ARDS and less than 300 for ALI.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: Although the disease processes involved in parenchymal lung injury are different, pathophysiologic similarities exist. All parenchymal lung diseases have varying degrees of interstitial edema, alveolar edema, surfactant dysfunction, and decreased pulmonary compliance.
