Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The term bat's wing appearance is applied to the predominance of edema in the hilar regions of both lungs with progressively less edema in the more peripheral areas of the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A tension pneumothorax is suggested on chest films when the hemidiaphragm is pushed down inferiorly or when the mediastinum is shifted toward the opposite lung. A tension pneumothorax requires immediate decompression with a chest tube or Heimlich valve.
