Where did it fall?
Pump it up
Clean up in Aisle 3
On the contrary my dear Watson
100
This term describes the suspension of liquid or solid particles in a gas.
What is an aerosol?
100
The type of aerosol suspension that most nebulizers used in respiratory care produce
What is heterodisperse?
100
This type of atelectasis results from persistent breathing at small tidal volumes.
What is compression atelectasis?
100
Effective airway clearance depends on this anatomical function to move mucus.
What is the "mucociliary escalator"?
100
Name a hazard or complication of postural drainage.
Cardiac arrhythmias
Increased intracranial pressure
Acute hypotension
200
This device is used to generate therapeutic aerosols and includes atomizers, nebulizers, and soft mist inhalers
What is a nebulizer?
200
The retention of aerosol particles resulting from contact with the respiratory tract mucosa
What is deposition?
200
This technique is recommended for an alert, cooperative postoperative patient to prevent atelectasis.
What is incentive spirometry?
200
This technique uses body positioning to drain secretions.
What is "postural drainage"?
200
Name the only absolute contraindication to turning a patient.
When the patient has unstable spinal cord injuries
300
This measure identifies the typical settling behavior of aerosol particles.
What is Mean Mass Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD)?
300
Aerosol particles in the 5- to 10-µm range deposit
What is the upper airways?
300
One absolute contraindication for intermittent positive-pressure breathing (IPPB)
What is tension pneumothorax?
300
Name the three conditions that are associated with chronic production of large volumes of sputum.
What is cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis?
300
Name the primary hazard of aerosol drug therapy.
What is an adverse drug reaction?
400
The most common mechanism for large particle deposition (>5 µm) in the respiratory tract.
What is inertial impaction?
400
Primary mechanism for deposition of small particles
What is Brownian diffusion?
400
The mechanism by which CPAP therapy treats atelectasis.
What is recruitment of collapsed alveoli?
400
This hazard of positive airway pressure therapies involves excessive air entering the stomach.
What is "gastric distention"?
400
Name the process to which aerosol suspension changes over time.
What is aging?
500
The term for mass of drug leaving the nebulizer as aerosol.
What is the emitted dose?
Category: Lung Expansion
500
This is the primary fate of inhaled aerosol particles that are between 1 and 0.5 µm.
What is most are cleared during exhalation?
500
This approach increases alveolar pressure to enhance lung expansion.
What is "positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)"?
500
Retention of secretions can lead to full or partial airway obstruction. Name the complications that results in mucus plugging.
What is hypoxemia, atelectasis, and shunting?
500
A patient complains of a "tingling" feeling in her lips during an incentive spirometry treatment. The RT should instruct the patient to:
What is take slower breaths or breaks between therapy.
