Respiratory System Knowledge Assessment

Front

Continuous Oxygenation delivery during all intubation phases

Back

Apneic Oxygenation is a technique used to maintain oxygenation during intubation when the patient is not breathing.

Front

A nonrebreathing mask is capable of providing up to ____ oxygen when sealed properly

Back

A nonrebreathing mask can provide up to 90% oxygen when sealed properly.

Front

Which Nerve Controls the Diaphragm?

Back

The Phrenic Nerve controls the diaphragm, which is essential for breathing.

Front

What should you do if a patient begins to gag while inserting an oropharyngeal airway?

Back

You should remove the airway and be prepared to suction her oropharynx.

Front

If you Test Positive for TB, what does it mean?

Back

Testing positive for TB means you have been exposed to TB, but it does not necessarily mean you have active TB.

Front

What is the primary function of the respiratory system?

Back

The primary function of the respiratory system is to facilitate gas exchange, providing oxygen to the body and removing carbon dioxide.

Front

Define 'Pre-oxygenation Phase' in intubation.

Back

The Pre-oxygenation Phase involves providing supplemental oxygen to a patient before intubation to increase oxygen reserves.

Front

What is the role of the Vagus Nerve in respiration?

Back

The Vagus Nerve plays a role in autonomic control of the heart and lungs, influencing respiratory rate and depth.

Front

What is the significance of the Phrenic Nerve in breathing?

Back

The Phrenic Nerve is crucial for initiating the contraction of the diaphragm, which is necessary for inhalation.

Front

What is the purpose of an oropharyngeal airway?

Back

An oropharyngeal airway is used to maintain an open airway in unconscious patients who do not have a gag reflex.
