yOpen- yended yquestions yare ybest ysuited yto ylet ythe ypatient yfully yexplain yhis/her ysituation yand

ypossibly yhelp ythe yrespiratory ytherapist yshow yempathy.

, 7. During ythe yinterview ythe ypatient ystates, y―Every ytime yI yclimb ythe ystairs yI yhave yto ystop yto
ycatch ymy ybreath.‖ yHearing ythis, ythe yrespiratory ytherapist yreplies, y―So, yit ysounds ylike yyou

yget yshort yof ybreath yclimbing ystairs.‖ yThis yinterviewing ytechnique yis ycalled:

a. clarification.
b. modeling.
c. empathy.
d. reflection.
ANS: y D
With yreflection, ypart yof ythe ypatient’s ystatement yis yrepeated. yThis ylets ythe ypatient yknow ythat ywhat
yhe/she ysaid ywas yheard. yIt yalso yencourages ythe ypatient yto yelaborate yon ythe ytopic.

Clarification, ymodeling, yand yempathy yare yother ycommunication ytechniques.

a. Confrontation
b. Reflection
c. Facilitation
d. Distancing
ANS: y D
With yconfrontation, ythe yrespiratory ytherapist yfocuses ythe ypatient’s yattention yon yan yaction, yfeeling, yor
ystatement ymade yby ythe ypatient. yThis ymay yprompt ya yfurther ydiscussion. yReflection yhelps ythe ypatient

yfocus yon yspecific yareas yand ycontinues yin yhis/her yown yway. yFacilitation yencourages ypatients yto ysay

ymore, yto ycontinue ywith ythe ystory. yThe yrespiratory ytherapist yshould yavoid ygiving yadvice, yusing

yavoidance ylanguage, yand yusing ydistancing ylanguage.




10. When yclosing ythe yinterview, ythe yrespiratory ytherapist yshould ydo ywhich yof ythe yfollowing?
1. Recheck ythe ypatient’s yvital ysigns.

Although ythe yprecise ymechanism yis ynot yclear, ythe yfact ythat ycertain yventilatory ypatterns
yoccur ywhen ylung ycompliance yis yaltered yis ywell ydocumented. yFor yexample, ywhen yC L


ydecreases, ythe ypatient’s ybreathing yrate ygenerally yincreases ywhile ythe ytidal yvolume

ysimultaneously ydecreases.




5. How ycan ywork yof ybreathing ybe yquantified?
a. Work y= yresistance y× yvolume
b. Work y= ypressure y y volume
c. Work y= yflow y y volume
d. Work y= ypressure y× yvolume
ANS: y D NURSINGTB.COM
In yphysics, ywork yis ydefined yas ythe yforce ymultiplied yby ythe ydistance ymoved y(work y= yforce y×
ydistance). yIn yrespiratory yphysiology, ythe ychange yin ypulmonary ypressure y(force) ymultiplied yby ythe
ychange yin ylung


volume y(distance) ymay ybe yused yto yquantify ythe ywork yof ybreathing y(WOB) y(work y= ypressure y×
volume).

6. In ypatients ywith ychronically yhigh yPaCO2 yand ylow yPaO2 ywhich yof ythe yfollowing yis ythe
yprimary yreceptor ysite yfor ythe ycontrol yof yventilation?

a. Central ychemoreceptors
b. Peripheral ychemoreceptors
c. Juxtapulmonary-capillary y receptors
d. Aortic yand ycarotid ysinus ybaroreceptors
ANS: y B
When ythe yperipheral ychemoreceptors yare yactivated, yan yafferent y(sensory) ysignal yis ysent yto ythe
yrespiratory ycenters yof ythe ymedulla yby yway yof ythe yglossopharyngeal ynerve y(cranial ynerve yIX) yfrom ythe

ycarotid ybodies yand yby yway yof ythe yvagus ynerve y(cranial ynerve yX) yfrom ythe yaortic ybodies. yEfferent

y(motor) ysignals yare ythen ysent yto ythe yrespiratory ymuscles, ywhich yresults yin yan yincreased yrate yof

ybreathing. yIt yshould ybe ynoted ythat yin ypatients ywho yhave ya ychronically yhigh yPaCO2 yand ylow yPaO2,

ythe yperipheral ychemoreceptors yare ythe yprimary yreceptor ysites yfor ythe ycontrol yof yventilation.
