Lindsey Jones Test C Questions And Answers

Which of the following would be most beneficial in resolving microatelectasis?

A. Thoracentesis

B. Bronchoscopy

C. Percutaneous ventilation


D. Chest tubes Your answer was : B


The correct answer is : B

Explanation : A bronchoscopy would be most beneficial because it can ventilate and recruit

alveoli in the lung. The other options will not decrease atelectasis.




A 45 year-old patient is recovering in the intensive care unit after undergoing a surgical

procedure to repair a hernia. The patient remains unconscious. To prevent soft tissue obstruction,

the respiratory therapist should recommend a(n)

A. double-lumen endobronchial tube

B. nasopharyngeal airway

C. bite block


D. oropharyngeal airway Your answer was : D


The correct answer is : D

,Lindsey Jones Test C Questions And Answers
Explanation : An oral pharyngeal airway is the primary mechanism used to prevent the time from

falling back and obstructing the airway. Although a double lumen endobronchial tube would also

do this, it is far too invasive and not necessary.




Quality control material has published values for pH of 7.20, PO2 of 65 mmHg. Documentation

indicates the range of pH is 0.5% and is 3% for PO2. Machine results are as follows:

pH PO2 (mmHg) Run 1 7.19 64Run 2 7.1069Run 3 7.2165

Which quality control run(s) indicate the machine is out of control?

A. Run 2 and 3

B. Run 1 and 2

C. Run 2 only


D. Run 3 only Your answer was : C


The correct answer is : C

Explanation : This question involves doing some math. You must look at each pH and add and

subtract 0.5%. You must do the same for the PO2, using 3%. From there you can look at the

results and determine which Run is out of control. In this case only Run two is out of control.




A respiratory therapist is considering a patient's readiness to wean from mechanical ventilation.

To determine the A-aDO2, the therapist will need which of the following?

A. CaO2 and PAO2

,Lindsey Jones Test C Questions And Answers
B. VD/VT and PAO2

C. VD/VT and ABG


D. ABG and alveolar oxygen tension Your answer was : A


The correct answer is : D

Explanation : This question requires you to remember what is needed to calculate A-a gradient.

You only need two things - the alveolar oxygen tension (PAO2), and the arterial oxygen tension,

determined from an arterial blood gas.




A patient with increased airway resistance from a fixed upper airway obstruction would benefit

most from which of the following?

A. heliox therapy

B. aerosolized atropine

C. epinephrine


D. bronchodilator therapy Your answer was : A


The correct answer is : A

Explanation : A fixed upper airway obstruction means air is having difficulty moving both in and

out. It is usually caused by cancer or other non-changeable conditions. In this case the best thing

we can do is decrease airway resistance by using helium or Heliox therapy.

, Lindsey Jones Test C Questions And Answers
Evaluating MIP (maximum inspiratory pressure) is most useful in evaluating which of the

following?

A. presence of a restrictive pulmonary defect

B. presence of obstructive pulmonary defect

C. inspiratory muscle strength


D. effectiveness of cough Your answer was : C


The correct answer is : C

Explanation : Maximum inspiratory pressure is most useful in evaluating for inspiratory muscle

strength, or the ability to sustain ventilation. To determine if a patient has a restricted pulmonary

defect one would need to do a pulmonary function test. The effectiveness of a cough would be

assessed through doing a maximum expiratory pressure maneuver, or MEP.




An air-entrainment jet nebulizer is set at 50%. The respiratory therapist analyzes the oxygen

C. leak in the tubing


D. low flow through the jet orifice Your answer was : A
