Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Dyspnea, not a productive cough, is the most common presenting factor of emphysema.
Neither cyanosis nor cor pulmonale is a common presenting factor of emphysema.

Chronic bronchitis is defined by hypersecretion of thick mucus. Ventilation-perfusion mismatch may occur, but chronic bronchitis is defined as hypersecretion of mucus. Neither hyperventilation nor thinning of smooth muscle occurs.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
