Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
After tachypnea, worsening retractions, paradoxical breathing, and audible grunting are ob-served. Nasal flaring also may be seen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Diffuse, hazy, reticulogranular densities with the presence of air bronchograms with low lung volumes are typical of RDS. The reticulogranular pattern is caused by aeration of respiratory bronchioles and collapse of the alveoli. Air bronchograms appear as aerated, dark, major bronchi surrounded by the collapsed or consolidated lung tissue.
