Answer to Question 1

A
Normal, vesicular breath sounds would not be heard in a patient with the secretion problems found with bronchiectasis. Rather, crackles (rhonchi) and wheezes would be heard. The other three conditions are not associated with bronchiectasis.

It is estimated that up to 40 of patents with bacterial pneumonia have an accompanying pleural effusion.
