Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
VFRC = V  P  (PB  PH2O), where V and P are the box volume and alveolar pressure changes measured during the panting maneuver, PB is the ambient barometric pressure, and PH2O is the water vapor pressure (assume 47 mm Hg for 37 C).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The end point of the helium dilution test is reached when the helium percentage remains steady for 2 minutes, indicating that the helium is equilibrated between the spirometer and the patient's lungs.
