Inconsistent crackling on auscultation indicates:


  • Rales
  • Stridor
  • Wheezing
  • Rhonchi
  • Rales
100

Respiration is driven by


  • Oxygen
  • Nitrogen
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Carbon Dioxide
100

An Indication for ET tube placement is:


  • Impending airway failure
  • A feeling of impending doom
  • The need for short term ventilation
  • Choking
  • Impending airway failure
100

Chris thinks Jason’s SOB is from Pulmonary Edema, due to his:


  • Fever
  • Congestion
  • Pain
  • Impotence
  • Congestion
100

A device that uses litmus paper to detect CO2 is:


  • The CO2 nasal cannula sampling line
  • The end tidal CO2 (ETCO2)
  • In-line CO2
  • Colorimetric CO2 detector
  • Colorimetric CO2 detector
200

Total lung volume is calculated by:


  • Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume
  • Tidal Volume + Reserve Volume
  • Vital capacity + Residual volume
  • Residual Volume + Tidal Volume
  • Vital capacity + Residual volume
200

Crackling in the lungs indicates:


  • Upper airway obstruction
  • Lower airway obstruction
  • Fluid in the lungs
  • Trauma
  • Fluid in the lungs
200

Before intubation, be sure to:

  • Preoxygenate the patient
  • Position the airway
  • Check your equipment
  • All of the above
  • All of the above
200

If the thoracic cavity increases in volume, the intrathoracic pressure will

  • Increase
  • Decrease
  • Invert
  • Exhale
  • Decrease
200

After breathing out all he can, the air left in Chris’ lungs is called

  • Reserve volume
  • Residual volume
  • Vital capacity
  • Tidal Volume
  • Residual volume
300

Advanced Airways:

  • Are always located above the vocal cords
  • Include OPA’s and NPA’s
  • Can be used on a pt with a gag-reflex
  • Include Supraglottic and Endotracheal Tubes
  • Include Supraglottic and Endotracheal Tubes
300

NPA’s are used for patients:


  • With a gag-reflex
300

Laryngoscopes are used to:

  • Move the tongue out of the way
  • Lift the epiglottis
  • Position the airway
  • Oxygenate the patient
  • Lift the epiglottis
300

Fluid buildup in the lungs is dangerous because it:

  • Impedes airflow through the bronchioles
  • Increases intrathoracic pressure
  • Results in pulmonary embolus
  • Impedes gas exchange in the alveoli
  • Impedes gas exchange in the alveoli
300

A patient has a patent airway if:

  • They can speak
  • They are conscious
  • They can’t breathe
  • They have a gag reflex
  • They can speak
400

After a car accident, you suspect Jason has increased ICP due to his Cheyne Stokes respirations, made obvious by:

  • Alternating periods of fast breathing and apnea
  • Alternating periods of gasping and apnea
  • Alternating periods of gradual slow to fast breathing and apnea
  • Deep, rapid breathing
  • Alternating periods of gradual slow to fast breathing and apnea
400

After crashing his care into Jason’s you suspect Chris had a stroke due to his Biot’s breathing, made obvious by:

  • Alternating periods of fast breathing and apnea
  • Alternating periods of gradual slow to fast breathing and apnea
  • Deep, rapid breathing
  • Fast, shallow breathing
  • Alternating periods of fast breathing and apnea
  • Biot's breathing is identified as alternating periods of fast breathing and apnea, usually indicative of a neurological issue like stroke.
400

Cricothyrotomy is used:

  • When an advanced airway cannot be placed
  • In persistent obstruction
  • Only on patients with a tracheostomy
  • In obstruction not cleared by manual positioning
  • In persistent obstruction
400

When the diaphragm contracts air flows:

  • From lower concentration to higher concentration
  • Into the lungs
  • Out of the lungs
  • Out of the alveoli
  • Into the lungs
400

Signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism include:

  • Normal breath sounds
  • Hypercapnia
  • Progressive onset SOB
  • No breath sounds on one side
  • Normal breath sounds
500

Airway adjuncts are used in conjunction with a:

  • Nasal Cannula
  • Non-Rebreather
  • Bag Valve Mask
  • CPAP/BIPAP
  • Bag Valve Mask
500

 Jason thinks his shortness of breath may be pneumonia, due to the presence of:

  • Fever
  • Rash
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Erection
  • Fever
500

The Mallampati Classification involves looking at the:

  • Mouth
  • Nose
  • Throat
  • Sinuses
  • Mouth
500

Perfusion is:

  • The movement of air in and out of the lungs
  • The delivery of blood to the tissues
  • The movement of molecules from areas of high to low concentration
  • The delivery of oxygen to the patient
  • The delivery of blood to the tissues
500

A pneumothorax is treated by all of the following except:

  • Supportive care
  • 02 administration
  • CPAP/BIPAP
  • Needle Decompression
  • CPAP/BIPAP
