Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Dyspnea and generalized edema are the cardinal signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Emphysema causes overinflation of the nonelastic alveoli, which disallows gas exchange in the affected alveoli and results in reduced oxygenation.
