Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5, 6
Atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary infarction cause decreased fremitus. Pneumothorax and emphysema would cause increased fremitus.

Answer to Question 2

3
Stable angina is precipitated by factors that increase oxygen demand or reduce oxygen supply. Chest pain occurs predictably with the same onset, duration, and intensity and is relieved when the precipitating factor is removed or with nitroglycerin. Unstable angina is typified by an increase in frequency, duration, and intensity of symptoms at lower levels of activity and even at rest. Prinzmetal's variant angina is a coronary artery spasm. Silent angina can occur with no pain at all and is common in diabetic patients.
