PEAT EXAM | Questions And Answers Latest {2024- 2025} A+ Graded | 100% VerifiedDrainage for the R lateral lung segment - L SL with legs raised 18 in
Lower lobe drainage - Prone with LE elevated 18 in
R middle lobe drainage - supine with LE raised 12 in
Ant segment drainage - supine with LE elevated 18 in
Leukocytosis - total WBC count of greater than 11,000-15,000/mm3 (above normal range)
Leukopenia - WBC count less than 4000
Normal range for WBC - 4500-11,000/mm3
Percussion posteriorly over the costovertebral angle of back = - Renal involvement if reproduction of
pain in the back or flank = murpheys test
Distention of the costal margin - Descriptive of an abnormal finding for the spleen, which is typically
palpated below the L costal margin. (looks like a bulge on the L side)
Positive = mononucleosis and trauma - warrants immediate medical attention
Ankle-Branchial Index - < 1.0 = decreased blood flow and ischemia in the limbs (with arterial aneurysm in
LE, the affected artery is dilated, arterial thrombosis, occlusive artery disease)
1.0 = normal, indicating similar blood flow in the ankle and brachial arteries
> 1.1 = arterial calcification, artery can't be fully compressed for valid measurement - most commonly
found in pts with diabetes
Sputum types - Asthma - eosinophilic
,Pneumococcal pneumonia - sputum is pinkish, blood-flecked or rusty. Treatment = antibiotics
Chronic Bronchitis - neutrophilic, bronchodilators improve spirometry scores
Emphysema - absent or mucoid sputum (as opposed to sputum with a lot of neutrophils
Exercises recommendations for pts with atrial septal defect - Participation is limited to LOW-intensity
sports
Ex tolerance is likely to be normal or only mildly impaired intense exertion accompanied by pulm HTN
may result in cyanosis, HF, or pulm hemorrhage
Egophony - When asked to say E, it'll sound like A. (it should remain e is normal) It is just a volume
difference in the following conditions:
-Atelectasis & pneumothorax: decreased voice sounds
-Consolidations: increased voice sounds
-Pleural effusion: Voice sounds will NOT be present over the effusion
Partial pressure of O2 range & CO2 - 80-100 mmHg
35-45 mmHg
Hand placement for lung expansion - - Anterior first 4 ribs = upper lobe excursion
- Anterior chest with thumbs over costal margin and fingers at xiphoid process = diaphragm
- Posterior aspaect of thorax at upper trap = upper post lobes
- hands over lower anterior ribs = middle lobe
Cheyne-Stokes respiratory pattern - -Irregular respiration pattern characterized by a period of apnea
followed by gradual increasing depth and frequency of respiration.
-Coma, BG disease, and occasionally CHF
, Biot - irregular respiratory pattern characterized by highly variable respiratory depth and intermittent
periods of apnea.
-Acute neuro dysfunction, ataxic breathing
COPD exercise METs - 4 METs = 120 HR = normal response
COPD is expected to have an increased elevation of HR with exercise due to hypoxemia
Chest percussion as an intervention - Normal diastolic pulm artery pressure = 5-15 mmHg. 3 is
pathologically low and indicates unstable hemodynamic status. Chest percussion = CONTRAINDICATED
Normal ICP = 0-10 mmHg. High = low cerebral perfusion and percussion would increase this even more =
CONTRAINDICATED
Coagulation is a precaution = Platelets of 30,000. 20,000 = contraindication
Normal PaO2 = fine
Hx of breast cancer - Wells criteria for DVT
MAP norms - 70-100 mmHg = normal
<60 = not enough perfusion to vital organs
Normal fasting blood glucose = 70-100
See Q 4.8 for practice with blood gasses
Chest Excursion norms - Below normal: 0.4 - 0.8 (common in COPD)
Normal: 1-2 in
