Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A. Correct response: Distribution in homogeneities is a major factor in creating regional overdistention of normal alveoli during a positive-pressure breath, which can cause overinflation of these alveoli. Overinflation can cause barotraumas or volutrauma.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
