PFT Final Exam With 100% Correct
Answers
What is the American Thoracic Society standard for
volumetric accuracy of spirometers? - Correct
Answer-+3% error or within 50ml of the reference
value
What is the ability of a measuring device to
consistently provide the same measure of the same
quantity? - Correct Answer-Precision
which of the following is equal to total lung
capacity.... - Correct Answer-Vt+ERV+IRV+RV
what is the normal average inspiratory capacity? -
Correct Answer-3600 ml
A patient has a vital capacity of 4200 ml, a
functional residual capacity (FRC) of 3300 ml, and
an expiratory reserve volume (ERV) of 1500 ml.
What is the residual volume(RV)? - Correct Answer-
1800 ml
, What is a normal single-breath diffusing capacity
for carbon monoxide for a young, healthy man of
average size? - Correct Answer-40ml/min/mm hg
What is the normal predicted vital capacity
measurement in the adult patient? - Correct
Answer-4800 ml
Which of the following volumes or capacities
cannot be measured by simple spirometry?
1. Functional residual capacity
2. expiratory reserve volume
3. residual volume
4. inspiratory reserve volume - Correct Answer-1
and 3 only
Which of the following adverse reactions is not
typically seen with pulmonary function testing? -
Correct Answer-Hemoptysis
What causes the residual volume and functional
residual capacity to increase? - Correct Answer-
Chronic obstructive lung disease
You are examining the expiratory flow tracing
during the patients forced vital capacity ( FVC)
