Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Tobacco use or exposure is the most significant etiology for COPD and accounts for 80 to 90 of all cases of COPD. Exposure to certain chemicals in the work environment may be a causative factor of COPD but is not as significant as tobacco. COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Metabolic syndrome is characterized by higher than normal glucose levels, increased waist size due to excess abdominal fat, high blood pressure, and abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglyc-erides in the blood.
