Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To obtain the lavage fluid, the bronchoscope is wedged at the level of fourth or fifth generation bronchus. A good wedge position means that the bronchoscope is advanced as far as possible while the distal lumen is still visible.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Unlike BAL, bronchial washings are obtained from the large airways.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
