◉ The characteristic x-ray findings in tuberculosis include a. diffuse
white-out. b. Ghon tubercles. c. bibasilar infiltrates. d. tracheal
deviation.. Answer: ANS: B
Tuberculosis results in Ghon tubercles that show up as nodules with
infiltrates. Diffuse
white-out, basilar infiltrates, and tracheal deviation are not
characteristic x-ray findings in
tuberculosis.
◉ Widespread atelectasis, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and
diffuse, fluffy alveolar
infiltrates on chest radiograph are characteristic of
a. acute respiratory distress syndrome.
b. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
c. asthma.
d. cor pulmonale.. Answer: ANS: A
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by widespread
atelectasis,
,non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and diffuse, fluffy alveolar
infiltrates. These findings are
not characteristics of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma,
or cor pulmonale
◉ Which is indicative of a left tension pneumothorax?
a. Course crackles throughout the left chest
b. Tracheal deviation to the left
c. Absent breath sounds on the left
d. Respiratory acidosis. Answer: ANS: C
A left pneumothorax results in absent breath sounds on the affected
side. Crackles will not be
heard because breath sounds are not present. Tracheal deviation
occurs on the contralateral
side. Pneumothorax results in acute respiratory alkalosis.
◉ A patient exhibiting respiratory distress as well as a tracheal shift
should be evaluated for

a. pneumonia.
b. pneumothorax.
c. pulmonary edema.
, d. pulmonary embolus. Answer: ANS: B
Pneumothorax leads to a tracheal shift to the side opposite the
pneumothorax. Pneumonia,
pulmonary edema, and pulmonary embolus do not lead to tracheal
shift.
◉ A patient with a productive cough and parenchymal infiltrates on x-
ray is demonstrating
symptomology of
a. bacterial pneumonia.
b. viral pneumonia.
c. tuberculosis.
d. acute respiratory distress syndrome. Answer: ANS: A
Bacterial pneumonia produces a productive cough and parenchymal
infiltrates (white
shadows) on x-ray. Viral pneumonia does not produce a productive
cough. Tuberculosis may
produce a productive cough but does not show parenchymal infiltrates
(white shadows) on
x-ray. Acute respiratory distress syndrome produces a non-productive
cough.
◉ The organism that causes pulmonary tuberculosis is
a. Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
b. Haemophilus tuberculosis.
c. Tuberculosis tuberculoci.
