DOH Respiratory Care Management

The Upper Respiratory System is composed of the following EXCEPT:

• Nose

• Larynx

• Pharynx

• Trachea

It is the type of alveolar epithelial cell that produces lung surfactants.

• Alveolar Type I Cell

• Alveolar Type II Cell

This is the term used describe the elasticity and expandability of the lungs and thoracic structures.

• Recruitment

• Surface Tension

• Recoil

• Compliance

This type of Ventilation-Perfusion (V/Q) Mismatch occur when there is perfusion exceeds ventilation.

• Normal V/Q Ratio

• Low V/Q Ratio

• High V/Q Ratio

• Silent Unit

When the volume in the thoracic increases, this causes the pressure of the atmospheric air to enter the airway.

• True

• False

When providing patient education to a patient newly prescribed an anticholinergic bronchodilator, the nurse should inform the patient that the most experienced side effect is:

• Dry mouth

• Headache

• Nausea

• Tremors

The major factors that impact the work of breathing include:

• Patient's age and oxygen saturation level

• Compliance of the lungs and oxygen saturation level

• Airway resistance and compliance of the lungs and chest wall

• Airway resistance and PaO2

The following assessment findings indicate adequate diffusion of oxygen:

• Normal PaCO2

• Clear lung sounds

• Normal rate and depth of respiration

• Normal PaO2 and oxygen saturation

The normal oxygen concentration at room air is:

• 28%

• 25%

• 30%

• 21%

When the volume in the thoracic increases, this causes the pressure of the atmospheric air to enter the airway.

• True

• False
