Answer to Question 1

A
A pneumothorax manifests itself clinically as a restrictive pulmonary disorder because air in the pleural space limits inspiration. In a tension pneumothorax, the heart may be pushed away from the affected lung. Although this can decrease cardiac output, a pneumothorax directly affects lung function.

Answer to Question 2

D
A patient with LTB does not usually need an artificial airway. Care of a child with LTB can include close monitoring, oral fluids, and placement into a cool aerosol tent.
