The most common cause of croup is:
Bordetella pertussis.
parainfluenza virus.
coronavirus.
Haemophilus influenzae.
parainfluenza virus.
Results from spirometry testing of a 60-year-old man indicate an FEV1/FVC <70%, 30% FEV1
<80% predicted. Given these results, expected symptoms in this patient would include:
shortness of breath and pursed lip breathing at rest.
productive cough and dyspnea on exertion.
decreased pulses and peripheral edema.
bradycardia with tachypnea.
productive cough and dyspnea on exertion.
Findings of FEV1/FVC <70%, 30% FEV1 <80% predicted suggest the presence of moderate
COPD. Symptoms include cough, sputum production, and dyspnea on exertion. Symptoms of
pursed lip breathing at rest, decreased pulses, peripheral edema, and tachycardia with
tachypnea suggest severe COPD.
Annual influenza vaccination is necessary due to:
active immunity.
passive immunity.
adaptive immunity.
antigenic variation.
antigenic variation.
Which of the following is a clinical manifestation of pulmonary edema?
Foul-smelling, blood-tinged sputum
