NBRC STYLE ATMV TEST Q’S WITH GUARANTEED ACCURATE ANSWERS |VERIFIED
·The cause of a mechanically ventilated patient's PIP increasing from 20
to 40 cm H20 while the static compliance remains relatively unchanged
is due to? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Increased Raw
An increase in PIP and Pplat with a stable PTA may be caused by? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o ARDS
What will occur when a patient's lung-thoracic compliance improves? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Pplat decreases
o PIP decreases
Over the course of several hours, a respiratory therapist has detected an
increase in PTA of a mechanically ventilated patient. The patient's Pplat
,has remained stable. What may be the cause of this increase? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Increase of airway secretions
A patient's PTA is rising, while the Pplat is constant. What should be
done to correct this problem? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o
Administer a bronchodilator
o Suction airway secretions
What will demonstrate the highest airway resistance? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ o PIP is 52 cm H2O, Pplat is 18 cm H2O, flow rate is
45 L/min
What is associated with an increase in airway resistance? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ o Decreasing the flow rate of gas into the airway
What is true regarding negative pressure ventilation? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ o These ventilators mimic normal breathing mechanics
PEEP is best defined as: - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Positive
pressure at the end of exhalation on a mechanical ventilator
What is true regarding plateau pressure? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
o Plateau pressure is used as a measure of alveolar pressure
, A breathe that is triggered, limited, and cycled by the mechanical
ventilator is what type of breath? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o
Mandatory
A breath that is triggered, controlled, and ended by the patient is what
type of breath? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Spontaneous
A breath that is patient triggered, ventilator controlled, and cycled is
what type of breath? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o Assisted
During pressure-controlled ventilation, the patient's Raw increases. What
will this cause to occur? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ o The delivered
VT will decrease
During volume-controlled ventilation, the patient's lung compliance
improves. What will this cause to occur? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
o The delivered VT will increase
During volume-controlled ventilation, which waveform remains
unchanged with changes in patient's lung characteristics? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ o Volume-time curve
o Flow-time curve
