Nurse Annie is assessing the client’s anterior thorax. What are the true ribs? False ribs? Floating ribs?
1-6. 7-10, 11-12
1-7, 8-10, 11-12
1-7, 8-9, 10-12
1-6, 7-9, 10-12
What does the tubercle of ribs 3-9 articulate with?
Costal cartilage
Transverse process
Vertebrae
Spinal Cord
TRUE or FALSE:
False rib is attach indirectly to sternum (connect to costocartilage).
True
False
This occurs as intercostal muscles lift the sternum and elevate the ribs, resulting in an increase in anteroposterior diameter.
External Respiration
Vertical Expansion of Chest
Horizontal Expansion of Chest
Ventilation
Upon assessment Nurse Annie palpated The U - shaped indentation located on the superior border of the manubrium. What is it called?
Sternum
Sternal Angle or Angle of Louis
Suprasternal Notch
Xiphoid Process
Below the suprasternal notch a bony ridge that can be felt where the manubrium articulates with the body
Sternum
Sternal Angle or Angle of Louis
Suprasternal Notch
Mediastinum
Upon assessment of thorax, Which of the following indicates normal respiratory function?
Use of accessory muscles
Nasal flaring
Symmetrical chest expansion
Lip pursing
When auscultating the lungs, it is important to:
Compare each side bilaterally.
Note abnormal sounds.
Ask the patient to take slow, deep breaths
All of the option
For barrel-chest. What is the diameter ratio?
Narrowing the anteroposterior diameter
Ratio of the anteroposterior to transverse diameter is 1 to 1
Narrow transverse diameter, increased anteroposteror diameter
Ratio of the anteroposterior to transverse diameter is 1 to 2
For chest excursion assessment of the anterior thorax. How do you measure chest excursion and deep breathing?
Stand behind patient. Put thumbs on spinal processes at 10th rib.
Place palms in lower rib cage with thumbs in costal margin
Palpate with hand positioned over the left clavicle and move your hand left to rig
Locate T9 and T10 ang place palms.
One of the post-processing technique in CT chest/thorax is MPR which is creating other planes of images (sagittal & coronal) from the axial. What is MPR stand for?
Multiplanar reformation
Maximum intensity projection
Minimum intensity projection
Multiplanar redistribution
