Answer to Question 1

Although studies are limited, supplemental oxygen delivered via nasal cannula can prevent rest-ing hypoxemia and allow greater exertion before desaturation. These benefits may improve qual-ity-of-life and potentially ward off development of pulmonary arterial hypertension, although further studies are needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Patients with ILD should receive a pneumococcal vaccine per CDC guidelines and a yearly in-fluenza virus vaccine.
