Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This promotes anesthetic deposition, aids visibility, and can reduce procedure time. An anticho-linergic agent, such as atropine given prior to the procedure, is used for this purpose. Atropine may also help decrease vagal responses (such as bradycardia and hypotension) that can occur during bronchoscopy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The purposes of bronchoscopy are to inspect the airway, remove objects from the airway, collect samples from the airway, and place devices into the airway.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
