Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Mr. Jones' dyspnea at rest and chronic sputum production requires further evaluation. A pre-post PFT study is indicated at this time to (1) differentiate his COPD diagnosis between emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma and (2) assess possible airway obstruction and its reversibility lev-el. A chest x-ray and arterial blood gas analysis are also indicated in the presence of dyspnea and due to this patient's occupational history.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The term interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a broad category of lung diseases rather than to a specific disease entity. It includes a variety of illnesses with diverse causes, treatments, and prognoses. These disorders are grouped together because of similarities in their clinical presenta-tions, plain chest radiographic appearance, and physiologic features.
