CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND
ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY DISEASE
EXAMINATION SET 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS GRADED A+
● Core Temperature. Answer: 37C or 98.6 F
● Hyperventilation. Answer: losing CO2
● hypoventilation. Answer: gaining CO2
● pulsus paradoxus. Answer: usually occurs with severe asthma attack!!
- systolic blood pressure that is >10 mmhg lower on inspiration than on
expiration.
B/P decreases during inspiration
B/P increases during expiration
● diaphragmatic excursion. Answer: should be equal and bilateral and
measure 4-8 cm in the adult
-severe emphysema, bronchitis, asthma
, ● compliance. Answer: is the ease which the elastic forces of the lungs
accept a volume of inspired air. (change in vol (L)/ change in pressure
(cmH20)
● resistance. Answer: is defined as the pressure difference between the
mouth and the alveoli which is the trans- airway pressure (change in
pressure (cmH20)/ flow rate ( L/sec)
● Thormbus. Answer: blood clot resulting in tissue death; stays still.
● Embolis. Answer: moving clot
● hypothermia. Answer: is a core temperature below normal range.
● clinical signs of hypothermia. Answer: -below normal body
temperature
-decreased pulse and respiratory rate
-severe shivering
-patient indicating coldness or presence of chills
-pale or bluish cool, waxy skin
-hypotension
-decreased urinary output
-lack of muscle coordination
