Angina pectoris
Ventricular conduction
Atrioventriculosis
Patients with __________ usually have a chief complaint of difficulty breathing, although they may complain of chest pain.
Pedal edema
Angina
Hypertension
Congestive heart failure
Which of the following questions would be MOST helpful when evaluating a patient complaining of chest pain?
“Have you fallen today?”
“What were you doing when the pain started?”
“Have you ever had a stroke?”
“Have you eaten any spicy food today?”
You recognize from speaking to a patient that she has not suffered a cardiac arrest. How do you know that the patient is not in cardiac arrest?
Patients suffering a cardiac arrest are unresponsive, not breathing, and have no pulse.
Patients suffering a cardiac arrest are responsive and complain of chest pain.
Patients suffering a cardiac arrest complain of anxiety and a feeling of impending doom.
Patients suffering a cardiac arrest complain of chest discomfort, diaphoresis, and dyspnea.
A high-pitched sound upon inspiration that signifies a partial airway obstruction caused by a swelling in the larynx is called:
wheezing
tinnitus
stridor
larygectomy
An 11-month-old boy is conscious and not making any noises. His eyes are wide open and his skin is turning blue around the lips. You suspect the child has:
a complete airway obstruction
experienced a seizure
a mild airway obstruction
cardiac arrest
An unresponsive patient appears not to have a gag reflex. Paying careful attention, you perform the jaw-thrust maneuver and insert the correct size (a) through the patient’s mouth and into his throat.
While attempting to suction a patient, you discover that the patient has an intact gag reflex. Which of the following is the best choice for an airway adjunct?
Soft airway
Bag-valve mask
Oropharyngeal airway
Nasopharyngeal airway
What is the correct way to measure for a nasopharyngeal airway?
Tip of the forehead/tip of the nose
Tip of the nose/ear lobe
Lips/jaw
Jaw/ear lobe
What is the percent of oxygen in atmospheric air?
50%
100%
12%
21%
When working with oxygen cylinders, be sure to avoid letting oxygen and oil come into contact with each other. This could cause:
a loss of pressure
an explosion
lowered oxygen percentage
a conversion factor
When placing a patient on a nonrebreather mask, you should first:
set the bag to deliver 25% oxygen
complete the hydrostatic test
adjust the flow rate to 5 LPM
inflate the reservoir bag
A position used by people experiencing dyspnea – sitting or standing with their hands on their knees, shoulders arched upward, and their head forward. This is known as:
comfort position
recovery position
tripod position
recumbent position
Your patient has a persistent cough and breathes with her lips pursed. She says she is always tired and short of breath, and admits to being a smoker. You notice that her upper torso is barrel shaped. You recognize the signs and symptoms of:
COPD
asthma
respiratory failure
heart failure
One of the classic signs of moderate to severe respiratory distress is the inability to:
sit down
speak in full sentences
stand up
walk
What is the normal range for oxygen saturation?
54 – 70%
75 – 85%
89 – 93%
94 – 99%
Heart chamber that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
(a)
Largest and strongest chamber of the heart that forces blood out to the entire body
(a)
Similar to a heart attack, but coronary blood flow is not completely cut off and there is no actual damage to the heart muscle
(a)
(a) Amount of air moved into or out of the lungs during each respiratory cycle
(a) Areas of the airway such as the nose, trachea, and bronchi that do not exchange gases
(a) Leaf-shaped structure that covers the opening of the larynx upon swallowing
(a) Most common cause of anatomical airway obstruction
(a) Oxygen delivery medium for patient who is not breathing
(a) An inadequate supply of oxygen
(a) Disease affecting millions of people and characterized by a narrowing of the lower airways, wheezing, and sensitivity to irritants
Non-rebreather mask (a) (flow rate range in LPM)
Nasal cannula (a) (flow rate range in LPM)
