RESPIRATORY CARE SCIENCE (TEST
1) QUESTIONS AND AND ANSWERS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 1005
CORRECT RATED A+ NEWLY
UPDATED 2025
Oxygen Therapy
✔✔
Oxygen began being used as early as the 1880s to treat conditions like asthma
and cardiovascular disease.
First Attempt at Mechanical Ventilation
✔✔
Early ventilation involved using a fireplace bellows attached to a tube placed in
the patient’s mouth to force air into the lungs.
Barorespirator (Negative Pressure Ventilator)
✔✔
This device encased the body (excluding the head) and used negative pressure
to pull the chest outward, mimicking the mechanics of natural breathing.
Impact of the Polio Epidemic on Respiratory Care
✔✔
The polio outbreaks of the mid-1900s led to rapid advancement in ventilator
technology and created a demand for specialized respiratory care training.
How Industrialization Affected Respiratory Health
✔✔
Industrial growth led to a rise in respiratory diseases, both from direct exposure
to harmful substances and indirect environmental effects.
, Jobs Commonly Linked to Lung Disease
✔✔
Coal miners
Asbestos handlers
Light bulb factory workers
Tire manufacturing workers
Farmers
Pigeon breeders
Explanation:
These occupations often involve dust, chemicals, or allergens that increase the
risk of chronic lung conditions.
Automobiles and Their Role in Respiratory Care
✔✔
The rise of larger and faster cars resulted in more severe traffic accidents,
which in turn led to more chest trauma and the need for advanced respiratory
intervention.
Smoking and Its Impact on Lung Health
✔✔
Due to increased stress levels and aggressive marketing, smoking rates rose
significantly, contributing to a surge in lung diseases related to tobacco use.
research and respiratory care - ANSWER✔✔in areas of cause, diagnosis, and
treatment has meant that patients live longer but may be sicker for a longer period
of time
