Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The chest radiograph commonly shows upper-lung-zone predominant abnormalities characterized by multiple small nodular opacities in the central lung tissue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is important to recognize the association of silicosis with lung cancer and active tuberculosis. Silicosis patients develop active tuberculosis 2- to 30-fold more frequently than do coal workers's pneumoconiosis without silicosis.
