- Fibrocalcific pleural plaques
- Excessive bronchial secretions
- Bronchospasm
All of the following are interstitial lung diseases EXCEPT:

d. silicosis.
Staphylococcus.
Which of the following is the largest group of agents associated with drug-induced interstitial lung disease?
a. Anticancer agents
b. Cardiovascular agents
c. Antibiotics agents
d. Antiinflammatory agents
Anticancer agents
Which of the following organs are affected by systemic scleroderma?
- Skin
- Reproductive organs
- Lungs
- Brain
- Skin
- lungs
Systemic scleroderma causes fibrous degeneration of the connective tissue of the skin and lungs (and esophagus, digestive tract, and kidneys).
What is the most common pulmonary complication associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
Pleurisy
Pleurisy, with or without effusion, is the most common pulmonary complication associated with SLE.
Which of the following Americans would be the most likely to get sarcoidosis?
a. A 27-year-old African-American female
b. A 60-year-old African-American male
c. A 45-year-old Caucasian female
d. A 60-year-old Hispanic male
A 27-year-old African-American female
African-American women in the 20- to 30-year age group are the most likely people to get sarcoidosis.
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is associated with all of the following EXCEPT:
a. COPD.
b. connective tissue disease.
c. infection.
d. toxic gas inhalation.
COPD.
A patient has just been diagnosed with Wegener’s granulomatosis. Her long-term prognosis is:
a. excellent, with full recovery expected.
b. fair, with recovery expected after proper treatment.
c. guarded; recovery is possible after proper treatment.
d. poor; it is considered a fatal disease.
d. poor; it is considered a fatal disease.
What category of medications is commonly prescribed to manage interstitial lung disease?
a. Antibiotics
b. Mucolytics
c. Corticosteroids
d. Diuretics
Corticosteroids
Chest assessment findings in a patient with ILD would include:
- pleural friction rub.
- increased vocal fremitus.
- vesicular breath sounds.
- hyperresonant percussion note.
- pleural friction rub.
2. increased vocal fremitus
The diffusing capacity of a patient with coal worker’s pneumoconiosis or silicosis would be expected to be:
a. normal.
b. increased.
c. decreased.
d. variable based on the age of the patient.
decreased
In almost all cases of ILD, the diffusing capacity will be decreased because of pulmonary fibrosis and related problems.
Which of the following chest radiograph findings would be associated in a patient with ILD?
- Pleural effusion
- Honeycombing
- Cavity formation
- Increased translucency
- Pleural effusion
- Honeycombing
- Cavity formation

b. Goodpasture’s syndrome and Churg-Strauss syndrome
c. Churg-Strauss syndrome and LAM
d. Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and COP
Goodpasture’s syndrome and idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
All of the following are associated with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) EXCEPT:
a. recurrent chylothoraces and recurrent pneumothoraces.
b. increased airway obstruction.
c. postmenopausal women are primarily affected.
d. airway smooth muscle is affected.
postmenopausal women are primarily affected.
