Answer to Question 1

C
The maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) test is used to measure the maximum amount of air that can be breathed in a minute. The peak flow requires maximum effort from the patient, is taken from the FVC test, and assesses flow through the large upper airways.

Answer to Question 2

A
Clinical manifestations that are associated with TB include, but are not limited to, dull percussion note and crackles for breath sounds.
