Which of the following ventilation parameters indicate a ventilator patient is most
likely ready to be weaned from the ventilator?
1. MIP = -32 cmH2O
2. VC = 8 mL/kg
3. P(A-a)O2 = 170 torr while breathing 100% oxygen
4. RSBI = 120

Which of the following values will best indicate airway inflammation in asthmatics?
A. FeNO
B. PCO2
, C. PO2
D. HbCO

FeNO
A patient arrives in the ED after being removed from a burning house. The patient's
ABG results on a nonrebreathing mask are pH 7.21, PaCO2 25 torr, PaO2 320 torr,
HCO3 15 mEq/L, BE -10, SaO2 65%. Which of the following statements are true?
1. The oxygen level should be decreased
2. The SpO2 should be measured due to the discrepancy in the PaO2 and SaO2
3. The patient is hyperventilating due to severe hypoxia
4. The blood gases reveal a partially compensated metabolic acidemia

The RT obtains a sputum specimen that is odorous, green, and separated into layers.

A. Pneumonia
B. Emphysema
C. Bronchiectasis
D. Tuberculosis
