Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
LVRS can prolong survival, improve quality-of-life, and increase exercise capacity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When a patient with asthma inhales an allergen to which he or she is sensitized, the antigen cross-links to specific IgE molecules attached to the surface of mast cells in the bronchial mucosa and submucosa. The mast cells degranulate rapidly (within 30 min), releasing multiple mediators including leukotrienes (previously known as slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis SRS-A), histamine, prostaglandins, platelet-activating factor, and other mediators.
