Questions and Answers

Which of the following is the most accurate analogy for restrictive lung disease?

  • A balloon with a gladwrap around it, limiting its ability to inflate (correct)
  • A balloon with a hair tie around the middle, restricting its expansion
  • A balloon with a heavy weight on top of it, preventing it from fully expanding
  • A balloon with a small puncture, causing air to slowly leak out

Which of the following best describes obstructive lung disease?
