Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In almost all of the ILDs, the lungs have reduced compliance and require supranormal transpleu-ral pressures to ventilate (Figure 26-4). This lack of compliance results in small lung volumes and increased work of breathing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
With an appropriate exposure history, the presence of radiographic pleural plaques or rounded atelectasis may indicate that asbestos as the cause of the ILD.
