Front

Which consideration should be taken for pre-treatment for postural drainage positions?

Back

Treatment should be either before at least 30 minutes after eating

Front

Postural drainage assumes which of the following? One static position places a lung segment perpendicular to the floor allowing gravity to assist in draining secretions, Gravity does not help in the drainage of secretions, Percussion and vibration are always indicated, Position should be maintained for 12-16 hours

Back

One static position places a lung segment perpendicular to the floor allowing gravity to assist in draining secretions

Front

Contra-indications to postural drainage include which of the following? Normal intracranial pressure, History of previous head trauma, Crackles on lung auscultation, Hemodynamically unstable

Back

Hemodynamically unstable

Front

True or false: if used exclusively (without manual techniques), postural drainage should be maintained for at least 10 minutes?

Back

True

Front

True or false; strong evidence supports postural drainage and manual percussion or vibration as a clinical intervention

Back

False

Front

What is the best patient position to drain the upper lobes apical segment?

Back

Upright sitting with 30 degree recline

Front

What would be the best position to drain the lingula? Options: Right sidelying; upper trunk rotated 1/4 turn backwards, Left sidelying; upper trunk rotated 1/4 turn backwards, Right sidelying; upper trunk rotated 1/4 turn forward, Left sidelying; upper trunk rotated 1/4 turn backwards

Back

Right sidelying; upper trunk rotated 1/4 turn backwards

Front

Which lung segments likely will MOST likely require the Trendelenberg position in order to effectively drain?

Back

Lower lobes

Front

What is the rationale for manually assisting a cough?

Back

To ensure adequate expulsion of secretions in presence of weakness/paralysis

Front

What is the primary rationale behind postural drainage?

Back

Clear secretions through passive modalities
