Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Airway clearance therapy has proved effective in aiding secretion clearance and improving pul-monary function in chronic conditions associated with copious sputum production, including cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis, and in certain patients with chronic bronchitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Chronic airway inflammation and infection can lead to bronchiectasis, a common finding in both cystic fibrosis and ciliary dyskinetic syndromes. In bronchiectasis, the airway is permanently damaged, dilated, and prone to constant obstruction by retained secretions. Other conditions that can lead to bronchiectasis include chronic obstructive lung diseases, foreign body aspiration, and obliterative bronchiolitis.
