Answer to Question 1

B
Clinical manifestations associated with the more negative intrapleural pressures needed during inspiration include, but are not limited to, intercostal retractions and nasal flaring.

Answer to Question 2

C
A pulmonary infarction causes the death of lung tissue. This can happen when a pulmonary embolism (a clot that moves from another part of the body to the lung) significantly disrupts pulmonary blood flow. A pleural effusion is the leakage of fluid into the pleural space around a lung. An empyema is the accumulation of pus in the pleural space.
