Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
To obtain the lavage fluid, the bronchoscope is wedged at the level of fourth or fifth generation bronchus. A good wedge position means that the bronchoscope is advanced as far as possible while the distal lumen is still visible.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Unlike BAL, bronchial washings are obtained from the large airways.
