Which statement about the late asthmatic response is true?
a. Norepinephrine causes bronchial smooth muscle contraction
and mucus secretion.
b. The release of toxic neuropeptides contributes to increased
bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
c. The release of epinephrine causes bronchial smooth muscle
contraction and increases capillary permeability.
d. Immunoglobulin G initiates the complement cascade and
causes smooth muscle contraction and increased capillary
permeability - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > b. The release of toxic
neuropeptides contributes to increased bronchial
hyperresponsiveness.
,The late asthmatic response begins 4 to 8 hours after the early
response when the release of toxic neuropeptides contributes
to increased bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
Clinical manifestations of inspiratory and expiratory wheezing,
dyspnea, nonproductive cough, and tachypnea are indicative of
which condition?
a. Chronic bronchitis
b. Emphysema
c. Pneumonia
d. Asthma - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > d. Asthma
At the beginning of an attack, the individual experiences chest
constriction, expiratory wheezing, dyspnea, nonproductive
coughing, prolonged expiration, tachycardia, and tachypnea.
Severe attacks involve the use of accessory muscles of
respiration, and wheezing is heard during both inspiration and
expiration.
The most successful treatment for chronic asthma begins with
which action?
,a. Avoidance of the causative agent
b. Administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics
c. Administration of drugs that reduce bronchospasm
d. Administration of drugs that decrease airway inflammation -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a. Avoidance of the causative agent
Chronic management of asthma begins with the avoidance of
allergens and other triggers.
Which factor contributes to the production of mucus associated
with chronic bronchitis?
a. Airway injury
b. Pulmonary infection
c. Increased Goblet cell size
d. Bronchospasms - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > c. Increased Goblet
cell size
Continual bronchial inflammation causes bronchial edema and
increases the size and number of mucous glands and goblet
cells in the airway epithelium. Thick, tenacious mucus is
produced and cannot be cleared because of impaired ciliary
, function (see Figure 35-13). The lung's defense mechanisms are
therefore compromised, increasing a susceptibility to
pulmonary infection, which contributes to airway injury.
Frequent infectious exacerbations are complicated by
bronchospasm with dyspnea and productive cough.
Clinical manifestations of decreased exercise tolerance,
wheezing, shortness of breath, and productive cough are
indicative of which respiratory disorder?
a. Chronic bronchitis
b. Emphysema
c. Pneumonia
d. Asthma - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > a. Chronic bronchitis
The symptoms that lead individuals with chronic bronchitis to
seek medical care include decreased exercise tolerance,
wheezing, and shortness of breath. Individuals usually have a
productive cough ("smoker's cough").
Clinical manifestations that include unexplained weight loss,
dyspnea on exertion, use of accessory muscles, and tachypnea
