11.Respiratory System Quiz

What is the purpose of a diagnostic bronchoscopy?

• To remove foreign bodies from the tracheobronchial tree

• To treat post operative Atelectasis

• To examine tissues or collect secretions

• To diagnose bleeding sites

Which instrument is commonly used for bronchoscopy?

• Ventilating bronchoscope

• Rigid bronchoscope

• Fiberoptic bronchoscope

• Open-tube bronchoscope

What is the purpose of a therapeutic bronchoscopy?

• To examine tissues or collect secretions

• To remove foreign bodies from the tracheobronchial tree

• To diagnose bleeding sites

• To determine whether a tumor can be resected surgically

What is a potential complication of bronchoscopy?

• Extreme hoarseness or difficulty breathing

• Redness, swelling, or bleeding from the IV site

• Sore throat and hoarseness of voice

• Fever and/or chills

What is the purpose of bronchography?

• To examine tissues or collect secretions

• To remove foreign bodies from the tracheobronchial tree

• To diagnose structural or functional abnormalities of the lower respiratory tract

• To determine whether a tumor can be resected surgically

What is the contrast dye used for in bronchography?

• To outline the anatomy of the lower respiratory tract on x-ray

• To numb the lower parts of the airways

• To remove foreign bodies from the tracheobronchial tree

• To diagnose bleeding sites

What is a potential complication of bronchography?

• Bronchospasm or laryngospasm from the contrast dye in patients with asthma

• Airway obstruction from contrast dye in patients with emphysema

• Infection or pneumonia

• Extreme hoarseness or difficulty breathing

What should be done before a bronchography procedure?

• Inform the client of any allergies and medications

• Instruct the client to eat a heavy meal before the procedure

• Administer sedatives without informing the client

• Ask the client to cough or clear the throat

What should be done after a bronchoscopy procedure?

• Encourage the client to cough or clear the throat

• Instruct the client to drink and eat immediately

• Allow the client to resume normal activity without waiting

• Monitor vital signs and rest in bed

What is the purpose of fluorescent bronchoscopy?

• To treat post operative Atelectasis

• To diagnose bleeding sites

• To remove foreign bodies from the tracheobronchial tree

• To detect precancerous cells present in the airways

Answer explanation

he purpose of fluorescent bronchoscopy is to improve the detection of early lung cancer and other abnormal tissues in the airways. It is especially helpful in detecting precancerous lesions that may not be visible with white-light bronchoscopy alone.

Here's how it works:

• A special dye is inhaled as a mist or instilled into the airways.

• The dye binds to abnormal cells, such as cancerous or precancerous cells.

• When a special light is shone on the airways, the dye will cause the abnormal cells to fluoresce (glow).

This allows the doctor to see these abnormal areas more easily and take biopsies (tissue samples) for further testing.
