Answer to Question 1

A
Coarse crackles are associated with air passing through an airway intermittently occluded by mucus; they are more typically heard during inspiration, not expiration. Wheezes are an expiratory sound associated with bronchial asthma.

Answer to Question 2

C
Bronchoscopy can be used to observe a patient's airways for bronchiectasis evaluation. However, this is not a therapeutic procedure to treat the condition. All of the other listed options are therapeutically managed by bronchoscopy.
