Answer to Question 1

D
With a restrictive lung disorder, there will be increased lung rigidity. This causes decreased lung compliance. As a result, the patient breathes faster and with a smaller tidal volume.

Answer to Question 2

D
The acid-fast smear and culture is performed to determine the presence of acid-fast bacilli (e.g., Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Acid-fast testing is used specifically for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, not any of the other listed microorganisms.
