Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The number of biopsy specimens that should be obtained depends upon the diagnosis suspected. In patients suspected to have bronchogenic carcinoma, three biopsy specimens are often able to successfully diagnose almost all such cases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The major technical challenge of performing ultrathin bronchoscopy is maintaining proper ana-tomic orientation in the peripheral airways. The instrument is seldom used without a real-time CT guidance, virtual bronchoscopy, or a specially designed peripheral EBUS system.
