And Answers With Verified Solutions
Already Passed Latest Updated 2024
#001: A 65-year-old man with stroke-like symptoms is responsive only to deep
painful stimuli and is making a snoring sound. His respiratory rate is 14
breaths/min and regular and his oxygen saturation is 97%. What should you do?
A) Ventilate him with a bag-mask device and oxygen.
B) Insert a nasopharyngeal airway and keep him sitting up.
C) Suction his oropharynx and administer oxygen via nasal cannula.
D) Insert an oropharyngeal airway and position him on his left side. -
ANSWER✔✔B) Insert a nasopharyngeal airway and keep him sitting up.


Due to the significant alteration in the patient's mental status, he is not able to
maintain his own airway. However, because he is not completely unresponsive, he
likely has an intact gag reflex; therefore, an orohparyngeal airway would not be an
appropriate device. The nasopharyngeal airway is better tolerated in patients who
have an intact gag reflex; this would be a more appropriate intervention. There is
no evidence of hypoxemia (oxygen saturation is 97%), his breathing is adequate
(14 breaths/min and regular), and there is no evidence of respiratory distress;
therefore, neither oxygen nor assisted ventilation are indicated at this time. Oxygen
is indicated if there is evidence of respiratory distress and/or the patient's oxygen
saturation is less than 94% on room air. Keep the patient in a sitting position for
further airway protection and transport him to the hospital.


#002: Which of the following situations would MOST likely impair oxygenation,
despite the fact that the patient is inhaling and exhaling?
A) Limb amputation
B) Intracranial hemorrhage
C) Acute myocardial infarction

,D) Entrapment in a mine - ANSWER✔✔D)


#003: A man is found lying unresponsivterm-0e at the base of a ladder. He has
abrasions on his face. To establish a patent airway, you should first:
A) position him on his side.
B) insert an oropharyngeal airway.
C) thoroughly suction his oropharynx.
D) Grasp the angles of the lower jaw and lift. - ANSWER✔✔


#004: A patient with slow, shallow breathing has a large volume of blood and
secretions in his oropharynx. What should you do?
A) Suction his airway until it is clear and ventilate with a bag-mask device.
B) Insert a nasopharyngeal airway and suction the airway for 30 seconds.
C) Turn the patient onto his side and provide immediate Transport
D) Insert an oropharyngeal airway and suction for 10 to 15 seconds. -
ANSWER✔✔A) Suction his airway until it is clear and ventilate with a bag-mask
device


Slow, shallow breathing should be treated with assisted ventilation. However, if
the patient has blood, vomitus, or other secretions in the airway, they must be
removed first. Suction the oropharynx until it is clear and then begin ventilation
assistance. Fifteen or 30 seconds of suction may not be enough time to remove all
of the secretions. Ventilating a patient with secretions in the airway virtually
assures aspiration, and mortality dramatically increases if aspiration occurs. Insert
the term-12appropriate airway adjunct after the airway is clear of secretions,
continue to ventilate, and monitor the airway for ongoing secretions; provide
additional suctioning as needed.


#005: - ANSWER✔✔

, #006: Which of the following processes occurs during inhalation?
A) The intercostal muscles and diaphragm both contract.
B) The intercostal muscles relax and the diaphragm descends.
C) The diaphragm contracts and the intercostal muscles relax.
D) The diaphragm descends and the intercostal muscles relax. - ANSWER✔✔A)
The intercostal muscles and diaphragm both contract.


During the active process of inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, causing it to
descend. This increases the vertical dimensions of the chest. At the same time, the
intercostal muscles (muscles between the ribs) contract, increasing the horizontal
dimensions of the chest. These two processes cause intrathoracic pressure to fall,
and air rushes in to fill the lungs. The drawing of air into the lungs by the actions
of these muscles is called negative pressure ventilation.


#007: - ANSWER✔✔


#008: A patient overdosed on heroin and is unresponsive. He is cyanotic; he has
slow, shallow breathing; and his oxygen saturation is 80%. The primary cause of
this patient's condition is inadequate:
A) perfusion.
B) ventilation.
C) respiration.
D) oxygenation. - ANSWER✔✔C)


#009: Which of the following would MOST likely cause a reduction in tidal
volume?
A) Flaring of the nostrils
