PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) assesses the ability of the lungs to take in and expel air and evaluates gas exchange across the alveolocapillary membrane. T&A (Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy) is a surgical procedure to remove tonsils and adenoids. ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) is a test that measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood as well as the acidity (pH) of the blood. AFB (Acid-fast Bacillus) is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. The same answer is given twice (E,PFT), but that is also correct, just in another way.
