Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Although all these approaches are used in lung expansion therapy, it should be clear that those methods that decrease Ppl (e.g., incentive spirometry) have more of a physiologic effect than those that raise Palv and often are most effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
All modes of lung expansion therapy increase lung volume by increasing the transpulmonary pressure (PL) gradient.
