Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
See Table 43-2. The most suitable airway clearance method for infants is postural drainage, per-cussion, and vibration (PDPV) therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adding exercise to mobilization and coughing can further enhance mucus clearance. Exercise al-so improves overall aeration and ventilation-perfusion matching. Besides increasing sputum pro-duction, it can also improve pulmonary function. In addition, exercise can improve a patient's general fitness, self-esteem, and quality-of-life. On the other hand, exercise can be fatiguing and result in oxygen desaturation among patients with significant pulmonary impairment.
