MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which breathing pattern is most commonly associated with diabetic ketoacidosis?
Cheyne-Stokes breathing
Kussmaul breathing
Biot's breathing
Apneustic breathing
Answer explanation
Kussmaul breathing is a deep, labored breathing pattern commonly seen in diabetic ketoacidosis. It is the body's response to metabolic acidosis, helping to blow off excess carbon dioxide and increase pH.

What is the typical breathing pattern seen in severe atelectasis?
Slow and deep
Rapid and shallow
Irregular and gasping
Prolonged inspiration
Answer explanation
In severe atelectasis, the lung's ability to expand is compromised, leading to a rapid and shallow breathing pattern as the body attempts to maintain oxygen levels despite reduced lung capacity.

Which of the following is a common sign in a patient with asthma?
Prolonged exhalation
Prolonged inspiration
Apnea
Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Answer explanation
Prolonged exhalation is a common sign in asthma due to airway obstruction, making it difficult for patients to expel air. This contrasts with prolonged inspiration, apnea, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration, which are not typical for asthma.

What is the therapist primarily assessing when examining the extremities of a patient?
Lung compliance
Reduction in cardiac output or poor peripheral perfusion
Renal function
Neurological status
Answer explanation
The therapist assesses the extremities to evaluate blood flow and circulation. A reduction in cardiac output or poor peripheral perfusion can lead to cold, pale, or weak extremities, indicating potential cardiovascular issues.

Which of the following is NOT a common cause of tachycardia?
Exercise
Hypoxemia
Hypothermia
Anxiety
Answer explanation
Hypothermia typically causes bradycardia (slow heart rate) rather than tachycardia. In contrast, exercise, hypoxemia, and anxiety are common causes of tachycardia, making hypothermia the correct choice for this question.

Bradycardia most commonly occurs in which of the following situations?
Fever
Hypothermia
Hypercapnia
Anemia
Answer explanation
Bradycardia is commonly associated with hypothermia, as low body temperature can slow the heart rate. In contrast, fever, hypercapnia, and anemia typically do not lead to bradycardia.

Which of the following best describes the pathophysiological reason for Kussmaul breathing in diabetic ketoacidosis?
The body is responding to hypoxemia by slowing the respiratory rate.
The body is compensating for respiratory acidosis by decreasing tidal volume.
Answer explanation
Kussmaul breathing occurs in diabetic ketoacidosis as the body compensates for metabolic acidosis. By increasing the rate and depth of breathing, it aims to blow off CO₂, helping to correct the acid-base imbalance.
