breathing? - ANSWER Raise the upper part of the body in bed to help them breath; it is
hard for patients to breath because their abdomen contents are pushing up against their lungs.

condition
1
,What kind of state indicates whether a patient is in a mild, intermittent, severe or persistent
condition? - ANSWER Clinical state
What disease onsets during adulthood and is stimulated by hyper-responsive tissues in the
airways, initiating an acute attack? - ANSWER Intrinsic asthma
What physical condition results from chronic hypoxia associated with respiratory and
cardiovascular diseases? - ANSWER Clubbing
What condition is caused by the destruction of the alveolar walls and septae, which leads to
large, permanently inflated alveolar air spaces? - ANSWER Emphysema
In what condition will the lung appear with many large holes in it? - ANSWER Advanced
emphysema
What are the air filled spaces called in the lungs? - ANSWER Blebs & bullae
What disease occurs as a primary acute infection in the lungs and could become secondary to
another respiratory or systemic condition where tissue resistance is reduced? -
ANSWER Pneumonia
When is Pneumonia a risk from any aspiration or inflammation in the lung? -
ANSWER When fluids pool or defense mechanisms (cilia) are reduced in the lungs
What is the hospital required disease that affects those with less resistance, the elderly, the
debilitated, the malnourished, or the immune suppressed? - ANSWER Nosocomial
pneumonia
2
,What groups of people are at risk from acquiring Community-acquired pneumonia? -
ANSWER Healthy people as well as people with underlying cardiovascular and
respiratory diseases
Infections often results from what kind of organisms such as Klebsiella pneumoniae or
Pseudomonas aeruginosa? - ANSWER Gram-negative organisms
What infection is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and primarily affects the lungs? -
ANSWER Tuberculosis
What is the acid fast, slow growing baccilus that is resistant to drying and many disinfectants? -
ANSWER Mycobacterium
What kind of infection occurs when the microorganisms first enter the lungs, are engulfed by
macrophages, and cause a local inflammatory reaction, usually on the periphery of the upper
lobe? - ANSWER Primary infection
What is the infection that often arises years after primary infection, when the bacilli, hidden in
the tubercles, are reactivated, usually because of decreased host resistance? -
ANSWER Secondary or reinfection tuberculosis
What is the name of when you protect yourself and others by covering the mouth when
coughing, wearing a mask when in contact with others, and avoidance of sustained close
contact with others? - ANSWER Proper respiratory hygiene measures/ precautionary
measures
What is the infection where the primary disease is asymptomatic by the secondary disease's
systemic signs appear first? - ANSWER Tuberculosis
This infection includes the signs and symptoms of anorexia, malaise, fatigue, weight loss, low
grade fever and night sweats, prolonged cough and sputum with blood. -
ANSWER Tuberculosis
3
, Tuberculosis should be kept in what kind of isolation until the active disease is ruled out and the
patient is deemed to be noninfectious? - ANSWER Airborne
What is caused by a blood clot or mass of other material that blocks the pulmonary artery or a
branch of it, and blocks the flow of blood in lung tissue? - ANSWER Pulmonary embolus
Where do 90% of pulmonary embolus originate from? - ANSWER Deep veins in the legs
The diagnostic tests like X-rays, lung scans, MRI's, pulmonary angiographies and doppler
ultrasounds/ venographies confirm what? - ANSWER Pulmonary emboli
What is the common viral infection that affects children in the ages from 1-2 years that begins
as an upper respiratory infection with nasal congestion and a cough? - ANSWER Croup
(Laryngotracheobronchitis)
What kind of symptoms does Croup cause? - ANSWER A barking cough, hoarseness and
inspiratory stridor.
What is the type of breathing that has a smooth and even rhythm with expirations longer than
inspirations? - ANSWER Eupnea
What is the type of breathing that is involves rapid superficial breathing that can have both
regular and irregular rhythms? - ANSWER Tachypnea
What is the type of breathing that has a slower respiratory rate, deep depths and regular
rhythms? - ANSWER Bradypnea
