Questions With Correct Answers Already
Passed!!!Rated A+
What are the normal respirations of adults? Infants? - correct answer...✔✔12-20 and
20-40
What is the purpose of surfactant? - correct answer...✔✔Reduces surface tension in
alveoli (lubricant)
What is the normal stimulus to breathe in a healthy patient? - correct answer...✔✔
Carbonic drive
What is a pink puffer? Blue Bloater? - correct answer...✔✔A COPD Patient with
Emphysema. A COPD Patient with Chronic Bronchitis
What causes inhalation? - correct answer...✔✔Diaphragm and Intercostal muscles
contract
Where are the different lung sounds located? (Upper, Lower Airway) What causes
them? (Fluid, Constriction, Rubbing) - correct answer...✔✔...
What is agonal breathing? - correct answer...✔✔Abnormal breathing pattern
characterized by gasping and or labored breathing.
What is Cheyne-Stokes respirations? - correct answer...✔✔Abnormal Respirations
characterized by progressively deeper and sometimes faster breathing, gradually
decreases then stops briefly.
What is the difference between Ventilation and Respiration? - correct answer...✔✔
Ventilation - Mechanical process behind breathing.
Respiration - Cellular process associated with breathing.
What is Diffusion and where does it occur in the lungs? - correct answer...✔✔Diffusion
is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area low
concentration. It occurs in the alveoli.
Why does suctioning cause a decrease in HR? - correct answer...✔✔Vagal Nerve
Stimulation resulting in Bradycardia
AGRADESOLUTIONS
, What physically happens with pulmonary edema? - correct answer...✔✔Pulmonary
edema is an abnormal buildup of fluid in the air sacs of the lungs, which leads to
shortness of breath.
What is the pathophysiology of chronic bronchitis? - correct answer...✔✔Air passages
become clogged by debris and irritation increases. As a result a large amount of mucus
is developed which cause a cough.
What is the pathophysiology of Emphysema? - correct answer...✔✔Decreased
Pulmonary elastic recoil. Compression results and limits airflow. Additionally alveolar
walls are destroyed resulting in a lower quality of perfusion.
What role in breathing does the diaphragm have? - correct answer...✔✔The diaphragm
controls the increase or decrease in the pleural cavity. When the diaphragm relaxes air
is drawn into the lungs, when the diaphragm contracts air is expelled from the lungs.
What is unique about the diaphragm? - correct answer...✔✔It is a unique muscle
because it is two muscles working synchronously together.
What is a late sign of hypoxia? - correct answer...✔✔Cyanosis
What is consolidation in a pneumonia patient? - correct answer...✔✔A region of lung
tissue that has filled with liquid.
How does Carbon Monoxide affect oxygen in the body? - correct answer...✔✔Carbon
monoxide attaches to the blood easier than oxygen, therefore Carbon monoxide "robs"
the body of oxygen.
What is inhalation? - correct answer...✔✔Inhalation is the process of CO2 being
removed from the body caused by a decrease in pleural pressure facilitated by the
contraction of the diaphragm.
What is exhalation? - correct answer...✔✔Exhalation is the process of O2 being
introduced into the body caused by an increase in pleural pressure facilitated by the
relaxation of the diaphragm.
What is automaticity? - correct answer...✔✔The ability to do things without occupying
the mind "think force of habit"
What is diastole? - correct answer...✔✔The period of time when the heart refills with
blood. It is the lowest pressure within the entire arterial blood stream.
What is systole? - correct answer...✔✔The force that drives blood out of the heart. It
represents the force that the heart is producing during a single contraction.
