Answers
A. Atelectasis
B. Oxygen toxicity
C. Pneumonia
D. Pneumothorax
E. Volutrauma B. Oxygen toxicity
Weakened lungs, high pressures from the ventilator and the high volume of air increase the risk
for
A. Pneumonia
B. Pneumothorax
C. Volutrauma B. Pneumothorax
Atelectasis is the collapse of alveoli. This can occur as a result of inadequate tidal volume or
secondary to _________.
A. Pneumonia
B. Pneumothorax
, HealthStream CCRN Review Questions And
Answers
C. Volutrauma A. Pneumonia
_________ is used as a pharmacological adjunct to help prevent alveolar collapse, maintain
pulmonary compliance and optimize oxygenation.
A. Nitric oxide
B. Prostaglandin inhibitors
C. Steroids
D. Surfactant D. Surfactant
