Lindsey Jones Test C Exam Questions
and Answers 100% Pass

The respiratory therapist should evaluate which of the following to develop a teaching

plan for a patient who will be using a small volume nebulizer at home?


A. highest grade level achieved in school


B. manual dexterity


C. spousal support


D. english speaking proficiency - ✔✔Your answer was : B


The correct answer is : B


Explanation : A patient that is taking nebulizer treatments needs to be able to

demonstrate manual dexterity, and the ability to hold and manipulate the nebulizer.

During the instruction, appropriate language skills are also important but English

proficiency is not required. What is NOT important is the patient's spousal support.

This will have no effect on their ability to self administer nebulizer treatments.

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


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


B. VD/VT and PAO2



Katelyn Whitman, All Rights Reserved © 2025 3

, 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.
