,lungs are auscultated from - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔apex to base
the apex of each lung rises above the clavicle where lungs sounds are ___
- 🧠ANSWER ✔✔audible
breath sounds over the trachea and mainstream bronchi are __ and __
than over the other lung fields because these airways have larger
diameters and thus more airflow than smaller airways - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔louder and harsher
gas exchange occurs in - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the alveoli of the lungs
when fluid fills the alveoli __ __ may be audible on auscultation -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔fine crackles
excessive fluid in the alveoli interfere with - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔gas exchange,
resulting in decreased or absent breath sounds in that portion of the lung
the upper respiratory tract is responsible for - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔moisturizing
inhaled air and filtering noxious particles
respiration - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔is primarily an automatic process initiated by
the respiratory center of the brainstem (pons and medulla) based on
cellular demands

,the main trigger for breathing is - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔increased level of carbon
dioxide in the blood
when breathing is trigger - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the diaphragm contacts and
flattens pulling the lungs down. the thorax and lungs elongate increasing
the vertical diameter
with aging respiratory strength __ - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔declines
with aging respiratory strength declines lungs lose __, flexibility __ in the
cartilage of the ribs, and bone density ___. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔elasticity,
decreases, decreases
if a patient has acute shortness of breath, immediately assess airway
respiratory and pulse rates, BP, and oxygen saturation. Auscultate the
lungs to identify? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔abnormalities such as diminished or
absent breath sounds or evidence of fluid in the lungs
-administer oxygen or a bronchodilating inhaler as ordered. if the patient is
in bed elevate the head of the bed to reduce the effect of gravity on the
effort of breathing

, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔patients who
awaken at night with sudden shortness of breath. the cause is fluid
overload resulting from the elevation of the legs, which shifts the fluid
present there to the bodies core
wheezing - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔associated with asthma, CHF, and bronchitis
-it occurs in response to narrowed bronchioles
-wheezing with asthma is worse in response to offending allergies, at night,
and in the early morning
patients in respiratory distress or with COPD often assume a __ position,
leaning forward on a stationary object such as table or with their elbows on
their knees. this position increases the size of the thoracic cavity, facilitating
airflow. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tripod
hypoxemia - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a low level of oxygen in the blood
bradypnea - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔is less than 10 breaths/min
tachypnea - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔is breathing greater than 24 breaths/min
pallor or cyanosis of the nail beds indicate __ - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔hypoxia
