Answer to Question 1

A
Selectively intubating the left mainstem bronchus and ventilating just the left lung may allow the right lung to heal.

Answer to Question 2

A
The position of the diaphragms will not be changed by pulmonary edema. The chest radiograph will often show pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, and bilateral butterfly pattern fluffy infiltrates, among other findings.
