Answer to Question 1

A
A pleurodesis involves placement of chemical or pharmacologic agents into the chest cavity to cause an inflammatory reaction to increase the adherence of the pleural surface to the inside of the chest wall. The procedure reduces the occurrence of future pneumothoraces.

Answer to Question 2

D
The bacteria P. aeruginosa, H. influenza, and S. aureus are commonly found in the mucus of patients with cystic fibrosis. Although other bacteria are also found, Klebsiella is not among them.
