Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Lung damage may also occur when ventilating at low tidal volumes, if alveoli are allowed to de-flate and reinflate repeatedly with each breath. This injury is called atelectrauma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pneumothorax is identified by observation of a decrease in chest movement, hyperresonance on percussion, and decreased or absent breath sounds over the affected side.
