with a:
Select one:
A. bag-mask device.
B. nonrebreathing mask.
C. nasal cannula.
D. mouth-to-mask device. - CORRECT ANSWER -B. nonrebreathing mask.
A 51-year-old female presents with a sudden onset of difficulty breathing. She is conscious and alert and able
to speak in complete sentences. Her respirations are 22 breaths/min and regular. You should:
Select one:
A. insert a nasal airway in case her mental status decreases.
B. assist her ventilations with a bag-mask device.
C. perform a secondary assessment and then begin treatment.
D. administer oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask. - CORRECT ANSWER -D. administer oxygen via a
nonrebreathing mask.
Which of the following patients should you place in the recovery position?
Select one:
A. A 31-year-old semiconscious male with low blood sugar and adequate breathing
B. A 19-year-old conscious male with a closed head injury and normal respirations
C. A 24-year-old unconscious female who overdosed and has a reduced tidal volume
D. A 40-year-old conscious female with a possible neck injury and regular respirations - CORRECT
ANSWER -A. A 31-year-old semiconscious male with low blood sugar and adequate breathing
You are ventilating a patient with a stoma; however, air is escaping from the mouth and nose. To prevent this,
you should:
, Select one:
A. thrust the jaw forward.
B. seal the mouth and nose.
C. thoroughly suction the stoma.
D. ventilate with less pressure. - CORRECT ANSWER -B. seal the mouth and nose.
How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in patients with certain respiratory problems?
Select one:
A. It decreases intrathoracic pressure, which allows more room for lung expansion.
B. It prevents alveolar collapse by pushing air into the lungs during inhalation.
C. It forces the alveoli open and increases the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli.
D. It pushes thick, infected pulmonary secretions into isolated areas of the lung. - CORRECT ANSWER -C.
It forces the alveoli open and increases the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli.
In the presence of oxygen, the cells convert glucose into energy through a process called:
Select one:
A. anaerobic metabolism.
B. perfusion.
C. aerobic metabolism.
D. respiration. - CORRECT ANSWER -C. aerobic metabolism.
When testing a mechanical suctioning unit, you should turn on the device, clamp the tubing, and ensure that
it generates a vacuum pressure of more than:
