Bronchial Asthma Quiz

According to the sources, Bronchial Asthma is defined as a disorder characterized by which of the following?

• Hypo-responsiveness and acute inflammation of the bronchial airways.

• Hyper-responsiveness, chronic inflammation, and spasm of the bronchial airways.

• Loss of elastic recoil and alveolar hypo-inflation.

• Decreased residual volume and increased PEFR.

Which of the following is listed as a potential environmental risk factor for Bronchial Asthma in the sources?

• Low oral fluid intake.

• Adequate rest periods.

• Pollen.

• Quiet environment.

The pathophysiology of asthma involves mediators that increase capillary permeability, leading to which consequences?

• Decreased mucus secretion and vascular congestion.

• Vascular congestion, edema formation, and mucus secretion.

• Airway dilation and decreased airway obstruction.

• Decreased capillary permeability and increased elastic recoil.

Which clinical manifestation is described as an ominous sign of severe airway obstruction and impending respiratory failure?

• Dry nonproductive cough.

• Wheezing.

Which non-pharmacologic intervention is recommended for managing Bronchial Asthma by the sources?

• Maintaining a high level of physical activity.

• Removing environmental triggers.

• Reducing oral fluid intake.

• Encouraging occupational exposure to irritants.

Bronchodilator therapy or Beta adrenergic medications are primarily used in asthma management for treating which condition?
