The condition in which alveoli collapse is called:
A. atelectasis
B. bronchitis
C. pneumothorax
D. Pleuritis - Correct Answer - A. atelectasis
The presence of distended jugular vein's that do not collapse, even
when the patient is sitting, is consistent with:
A. left side heart failure
B. right side heart failure
C. an acute hypertensive crisis
D. a thoracic aortic aneurysm - Correct Answer - B. right side heart
failure
The movement and utilization of oxygen in the body is dependent on all
of the following, except:
A. effective alveolar-cappillary osmosis
B. adequate number of functional erythrocytes
C. efficient offloading of oxygen in the tissues
,D. adequate concentration of inspired oxygen - Correct Answer - A.
effective alveolar-cappillary osmosis
common signs of left-sided heart failure include all of the following
except:
A. tachypnea and tachycardia
B. chronic pedal edema
C. production of blood-tinged sputum
D. increased work of breathing - Correct Answer - B. chronic pedal
edema
When the parasympathetic nervous system is activated:
A. enhances conduction through the atrioventricular node
B. increases the heart rate by increasing SA node discharge
C.Slows the heart rate by decreasing SA node discharge
D. produces epinephrine and increases cardiac contractility - Correct
Answer - C.Slows the heart rate by decreasing SA node discharge
according to starling law of the heart:
A. The cardiac muscle can generate its own electrical impulses without
outside influence
B. damage to the right ventricle causes blood to back up in the systemic
circulation
, C. increased venous return stretches the ventricles, resulting in
increased contractility
D. decreased venous return reduces the amount of blood delivered to
the lungs - Correct Answer - C. increased venous return stretches the
ventricles, resulting in increased contractility
Cardiac asthma is a condition in which a patient:
A. with congestive heart failure experiences wheezing due to constricted
bronchi.
B. develops acute respiratory distress when fluid suddenly accumulates
in the lungs.
C. inadvertently takes too much of his or her beta-blocker, resulting in
bronchospasm.
D. with a history of asthma develops wheezing caused by an acute
cardiac event - Correct Answer - A. with congestive heart failure
experiences wheezing due to constricted bronchi.

the lungs, is called:
A. respiration
B. breathing
C. ventilation
D. oxygenation - Correct Answer - A. respiration
