NSG 501 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED

SOLUTIONS 2024/2025

what is ventilation

refers to breathing in oxygen and breathing out CO2

what is perfusion

passage of blood through the circulatory system which promotes gas exchange

diffusion

passage of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower

concentration

what is inspiration

the process of taking air into the lungs

expiration

the process of letting air out of the lungs

surfactant

reduced the surface tension of the alveoli- keeps the alveoli from collapsing

atelectasis

collapse of the alveoli

pulmonary circulation

circulation of deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and

oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart

what are the issues with small children mostly related to

respiratory issues

,the nursing process- planning

- ask about patient's priorities and expectations related to cardiac and/ or respiratory

disease

-establish realistic, short-term outcomes that build on larger goals that improve

cardiopulmonary function

-educate the patient on the opportunities for individual, group, or telephone counseling

and identifying a social support system

nursing process- assessment

-in-depth history of a patient's normal and present cardiopulmonary function

-past impairments in circulatory or respiratory functioning

-methods that a patient uses to optimize oxygenation

-review of drug, food, and other allergies

-physical examination

-laboratory and diagnostic tests- SpO2 and EtCO2

nursing process- focused physical assessment

inspection: skin and mucous membrane color, level of consciousness (LOC), breathing

patterns, chest wall movement, general appearance, circulation



palpation: chest, feet, legs, pulses



percussion: presence of abnormal fluid or air: diaphragmatic excursion



auscultation: normal and abnormal heart and lung sounds

,which pulse gives us the most data

radial because its the furthest away from the heart

-pedal pulse is the most important in the lower extremities

what are the five areas for listening to the heart

"all people enjoy time magazine"



"ape to man"

heart sounds

tests for cardiopulmonary functioning

blood specimens

- CBC- RBCs, WBCs, Hgb, Hct, platelets, MCH,MCHC, RDW, MPV

-electrolytes- NA, K, CL, BUN, CO2, creatinine, glucose, BMP vs CMP



- radiology

- -rays, CT scans, MRI

- TB skin testing

-electrocardiogram- tests the electrical signal of the heart

-echocardiogram- uses sound from an ultrasound to see the activity of the heart

-stress test

what electrolyte has the greatest implication of cardiac function

potassium

what are some nursing diagnoses for cardiopulmonary function

, -activity intolerance

-impaired gas exchange

- risk for aspiration

- ineffective breathing pattern

-impaired tissue perfusion

-decreased cardiac output

-fatigue

-ineffective airway clearance

-ineffective health maintenance

what does ineffective breathing pattern mean- ventilation imbalance

- a state in which an individual's respiratory pattern (cycles of inhalation and exhalation)

does not enable adequate ventilation

what are some related actors of ineffective breathing pattern

- inflammatory process: viral or bacterial

-hypoxia

-neuromuscular impairments

-tracheobronchial obstruction

- perception of cognitive impairment

-anxiety

-decreased energy and fatigue

-decreased lung expansion

defining characteristics of ineffective breathing pattern
