Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An air-fluid level in the pleural space indicates a hydropneumothorax.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ultrasound of the chest is excellent for evaluating the heart or pleural fluid. Ultrasonic evaluation of the lung itself is rarely useful because of the poor ability of ultrasound to transmit through the air-filled lungs.
