Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most aerosols found in nature and used in respiratory care are composed of particles of different sizes, described as heterodisperse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because medical aerosols contain particles of many different sizes (are heterodisperse), the aver-age particle size is expressed with a measure of central tendency, such as MMAD for cascade impaction or volume median diameter (VMD) for laser diffraction.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
