Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Exceptions include the use of the USN for sputum induction where the high output (1 to 5 ml/min) and aerosol density seems to yield higher quantity and quality of sputum specimens for analysis, but at some cost increased airway reactivity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In the absence of a manufacturer's recommendation, these units should undergo appropriate dis-infection at least every 6 days.
