Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease state char-acterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually pro-gressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious parti-cles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Complications of pulmonary tuberculosis include tuberculous empyema, bronchiectasis, extensive pulmonary parenchymal destruction, spontaneous pneumothorax, and massive hemoptysis from rupture of a Rasmussen aneurysm in the wall of a cavity. Extra-pulmonary complications may include hectic fever, wasting, and hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of the liver and spleen). Laboratory testing may demonstrate pancytopenia (decreased cell counts in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) and advanced immunodeficiency.
