The RT notes in a ventilator's patient's chart that chest percussion resulted in an area
of hyperresonance over the right chest area. This percussion note is most likely the
result of which of the following?
A. Pneumothorax
B. Atelectasis
C. Consolidation
D. Pulmonary edema
Give this one a try later!
Pneumothorax
It is noted in the chart that a patient has a six-second capillary refill time. This indicates
the patient...
A. Has pulmonary edema
, B. Has inadequate perfusion to the extremities
C. Has adequate pulmonary perfusion
D. Has an increased cardiac output
Give this one a try later!
Has inadequate perfusion to the extremities
The RT is reviewing a patient's chart that shows the following ABG results on a 40% air
entrainment mask:
pH - 7.44
PaCO2 - 38 torr
PaO2 - 320 torr
HCO3 - 24 mEq/L
BE - +1 mEq/L
What is the most appropriate recommendation?
A. Decrease oxygen to 30%
B. Repeat the blood gas due to lab error
C. Discontinue oxygen
D. Decrease the flow to the mask
Give this one a try later!
Repeat the blood gas due to lab error
The RT is reviewing the chart of a patient in the ICU who has pulmonary artery
catheter in place. Which hemodynamic value would best determine the extent of the
patient's left heart failure?
A. Central venous pressure (CVP)
of hyperresonance over the right chest area. This percussion note is most likely the
result of which of the following?
A. Pneumothorax
B. Atelectasis
C. Consolidation
D. Pulmonary edema
