Answer to Question 1

D
Although a lung transplantation is still a relatively rare procedure, it does provide the recipient with normal lungs. Cryosurgery is not used with cystic fibrosis. There is no way to replace DNA. A diaphragmatic pacemaker has been rarely used in a paralyzed patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
The longer a victim is submerged, the more likely it is that he or she will be apneic.
