Med/Surg: ARDSARDS - correct answer sudden, progressive form of acute respiratory failure Most common precipitating injuries of ARDS - correct answer sepsis, gastric aspiration, severe massive trauma What happens to the alveoli in ARDS - correct answer Alveolar capillary membrane becomes damaged and more permeable to intravascular fluid, capillary membrane that surrounds the alveolar sac starts to leak fluid, leads to gas exchange where it shouldn't be occurring, leads to hypoxemia How...

Describe the role of cilia in the mucosal membranes as part of the respiratory system. Ans: Warms and humidifies inspired air and removes foreign particles from it. What is the primary function of the pulmonary system? Ans: Diffuse gasses into and out of the blood. Ventilate the alveoli. perfuse the lungs so the body recieves oxygen. Where in the brain, are respirations controlled? Ans: Medulla oblongata What is volunary breathing necessary for? Ans: talking, singing, laughing, and ho...

2022/2023 NRNP 6566 Final Exam Study Guide | Week 6-11 Fully Covered. Final Exam-Study Guide Week 6 and 7 1. Interpret arterial blood gases (ABG). Differentiate alkalosis/ acidosis and respiratory / metabolic 2. Identify a ventilation – perfusion mismatch and how to treat it If there is a mismatch between the alveolar ventilation and the alveolar blood flow, this will be seen in the V/Q ratio. If the V/Q ratio reduces due to inadequate ventilation, gas exchange within the affected alve...
