Chapter 1: Indications for Pulmonary
Function Testing Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who first popularized spirometry for the
evaluation of pulmonary function?
a. August and Marie Krogh
b. Alvan Barach
c. John Severinghaus
d. John Hutchinson
ANS: D
Hutchinson popularized the concept of using VC
to assess lung function, and the names he gave to
several other lung compartments are still used
today.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 2 OBJ: None MSC: NBRC:
None
2. Which of the following are indications for
performing spirometry?
1. Assess the risk of lung resection.
2. Determine the response to bronchodilator
therapy.

3. Assess the severity of restrictive lung disease.
4. Quantify the extent of COPD.
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 2 , 3, and 4
ANS: C
Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction;
for that you need to measure lung volumes ( see
Box 1-2, Chapter 1).
DIF: 1 REF: p. 7 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC:
None
3. The main indication for the measurement of lung
volumes is to do which of the following?
a. Diagnose or assess the severity of restriction.
b. Evaluate the severity of pulmonary
hypertension.
c. Determine the level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
d. Assess the risk of abdominal surgical
procedures.
ANS: A
The most common reason for measuring lung
volumes is to identify restrictive lung disease.

4. DLCO measurements may be indicated to
evaluate pulmonary involvement in which of the
following systemic diseases?
a. Asthma
b. Sarcoidosis
c. Exertional hypoxemia
d. Guillain-Barré syndrome
ANS: B
Sarcoidosis is the only systemic disease
listed that affects gas exchange. DIF: 1
REF: p. 9 | p. 19 | p. 21 | p. 35 OBJ:
EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None
5.Blood gas analysis is used with
patients with COPD to do which of
the following?
a. Monitor airway responsiveness.
b. Determine level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
c. Detect pulmonary hypertension.
d. Assess need for supplementary O2.
ANS: D
