1. The amount of air volume the lungs can expire after maximum inspiration.
Reflects the Muscle strength and vol capacity of the lungs: Vital capacity
2. Which condition is least likely to impair lung compliance related to elasticity?-
: Emphysema (rupturing of lung tissue causes damage to alveoli and lung scarring) anterior-posterior is equal creating
a barrel chest.
3. Factors that affect oxygen unloading?: low blood PH, increased temp, increased PO2, increased
PCO2, increased 2,3 DPG
4. Normal factors 80 year old would have and may increase risk of pneumonia
especially if immobile?: increased anterior posterior chest diameter, kyphosis, barrel chest, decreased vital
capacity and residual volume, decrease in coughing up phlegm. Body temp, PO2, Sa02 decreas
5. Emphysema pt are more susceptible to infections and it destroys alveolar
walls. characterized by: decreased elastic and diffusion capacity
increased airway resistance and resp rate
6. This drug causes ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Ringing in the ears can be a
warning of other serious side effects.: Streptomycin
7. symptoms of pneumothorax: 88% O2 saturation, Hyper-resonant sounds over the affected area,dys-
pnea on exertion,respiratory acidosis, decreased LOC
8. What factors related to aging can predispose an older adult to pneumonia: -
slower respiratory rate, less effective cough, immobility
9. The nurse, caring for an elderly patient, realizes that the patient is at risk for
problems related to the volume of air remaining in the lungs because of which
of the following?
A. Elasticity of lungs decreases with age.
B. Older adults have a more rapid respiratory rate.
C. There is a tightening of the diaphragm with age.
D. Intercostal muscles become weaker with age.: Intercostal muscles become weaker with
age.
10. 2. What factors related to aging can predispose an older adult to pneumonia?
Select all that apply.
A. slower respiratory rate
B. less effective cough
C. immobility
