FCCN Level 2 UPDATED Actual Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
PaO2 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood, obtained
using an ABG


80-100mmHG


PaO2 60=SpO2 90%


SpO2 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- saturation of peripheral oxygen, obtained using pulse ox


90-100%


SpO2 90%=PaO2 60


PaCO2 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- 35-45



respiratory acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- low pH, high CO2


causes: CNS depression from drugs such as sedation, injury, or disease


breathe too slow, retaining CO2


respiratory alkalosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- high pH, low CO2


causes: pain, fever, sepsis


breathe too fast, not retaining enough CO2

,HCO3 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- 22-26



metabolic acidosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- low pH, low HCO3


causes: diarrhea, DKA, hyperkalemia


metabolic alkalosis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- high pH, high HCO3


causes: vomiting, suctioning, hypokalemia


pH - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- 7.35-7.45



reading ABGs - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- 1. evaluate pH to identify acidosis or alkalosis
2. match CO2 or HCO3 with pH state using ROME to determine respiratory or metabolic
3. assess whether CO2 or HCO3 state is opposite of pH to determine if it is uncompensated,
partially compensated, fully compensated, or corrected


non-invasive ventilation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- CPAP/BiPAP



CPAP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- continuous positive airway pressure; provides inspiratory
pressure


BiPAP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- bilevel positive airway pressure; provides inspiratory
and expiratory pressure


intubation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- insertion of ETT into trachea



RSI - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- administration of induction agent and neuromuscular
blockade agent simultaneously


intubation kit medications - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- premeds - versed and fentanyl

,sedatives - propofol, etomidate, ketamine


paralytics - succinylcholine, rocuronium


pressor - phenylephrine


intubation preparation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -notify RT and pharmacist
-discuss need for intubation and obtain consent, ensure pt does not have DNI order.
-evaluate whether pt has difficult airway
-verify equipment and PPE
-assure functioning IV access
-position pt
-ensure verbalization of procedural pause
-preoxygenate


RN role during intubation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- monitor pt vital signs especially O2
sats, administer medications, monitor time of intubation attempts, suctioning as needed


intubation process - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -following sedation, bag mask ventilate the
pt
-physician visualize ETT passing through cords
-anesthesia backup will be notified after 10 minutes or 2 attempts to secure the airway


post intubation care - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -portable chest x-ray, ABGs
-obtain sedation and analgesia orders
-hourly RASS observation
-monitor for hemodynamic changes


ventilator settings - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- FiO2
Tidal Volume

, Respiratory Rate
PEEP
Mode


FiO2 - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- fraction of inspired oxygen; the concentration of oxygen
in the air we breathe


RA is 21%, maximum is 100%


lung protection FiO2 goal: maintain SpO2 target with FiO2 <60%


PEEP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- positive end-expiratory pressure, provides positive
pressure to airways during expiration and helps keep alveoli open


common mechanical ventilator setting in which airway pressure is maintained above
atmospheric pressure


disadvantages: increased thoracic pressure decreases venous return to the heart. high levels
can cause barotrauma, tension pneumo


respiratory rate - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- minimum number of breaths per minute the
vent will ensure your pt takes


increase the rate to blow off CO2, decrease rate to retain


tidal volume - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- amount of air that moves in and out of the lungs
during a breath. calculated based on predicted body weight (height and gender)


6mL/kg is ideal


minute ventilation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- tidal volume x respiratory rate
