Answer to Question 1

A
Normal, vesicular breath sounds would not be heard in a patient with the secretion problems found with bronchiectasis. Rather, crackles (rhonchi) and wheezes would be heard. The other three conditions are not associated with bronchiectasis.

Answer to Question 2

D
It is estimated that up to 40 of patents with bacterial pneumonia have an accompanying pleural effusion.
