rights are ethical and legal concerns that demand attention. Issues such as genocide, human
trafficking, forced labor, and political repression require international legal intervention. The
ethical dilemma often lies in the tension between respecting state sovereignty and intervening to
prevent or stop human rights abuses. While international bodies like the United Nations seek to
uphold human rights standards, enforcement is often limited due to political and legal
complexities.The legal framework provided by international treaties, such as the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, and judicial bodies like the International Criminal Court (ICC)
offer mechanisms for holding violators accountable. However, international law’s power is
limited by the willingness of states to cooperate, and powerful nations may resist accountability

Chapter 1: Indications for Pulmonary Function Testing Test
Bank



MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Who first popularized spirometry for the evaluation of pulmonary function?
a. August and Marie Krogh
b. Alvan Barach
c. John Severinghaus
d. John Hutchinson

ANS: D
Hutchinson popularized the concept of using VC to assess lung function, and the names he
gave to several other lung compartments are still used today.

DIF: 1 REF: p. 2 OBJ: None MSC: NBRC: None

2. Which of the following are indications for performing spirometry?
1. Assess the risk of lung resection.
2. Determine the response to bronchodilator therapy.
3. Assess the severity of restrictive lung disease.
4. Quantify the extent of COPD.
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 2 , 3, and 4

ANS: C
Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction; for that you need to measure lung volumes (
see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).

DIF: 1 REF: p. 7 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None

, 3. The main indication for the measurement of lung volumes is to do which of the following?
a. Diagnose or assess the severity of restriction.
b. Evaluate the severity of pulmonary hypertension.
c. Determine the level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
d. Assess the risk of abdominal surgical procedures.

ANS: A
The most common reason for measuring lung volumes is to identify restrictive lung disease.

DIF: 1 REF: p. 35 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None

4. DLCO measurements may be indicated to evaluate pulmonary involvement in which of the
following systemic diseases?
a. Asthma
b. Sarcoidosis
c. Exertional hypoxemia

d. Guillain-Barré syndrome

ANS: B
Sarcoidosis is the only systemic disease listed that affects gas exchange.

DIF: 1 REF: p. 9 | p. 19 | p. 21 | p. 35 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None

5. Blood gas analysis is used with patients with COPD to do which of the
following?
a. Monitor airway responsiveness.
b. Determine level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
c. Detect pulmonary hypertension.
d. Assess need for supplementary O2.

ANS: D
Blood gas analysis is most commonly used to determine the need for supplemental oxygen
and to manage patients who require ventilatory support.

DIF: 2 REF: p. 15 OBJ: EL-1
MSC: NBRC: CPFT 2A-2

6. Which of the following cause emphysema?
1. 1- Antitrypsin deficiency
2. Exposure to environmental pollutants
3. Radiation therapy
4. Cigarette smoking
a. 1 and 2

, b. 3 and 4
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 2 , 3, and 4

ANS: C
Emphysema is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Some emphysema is caused by the
absence of a protective enzyme. Chronic exposure to environmental pollutants can also
contribute to the development of emphysema.

DIF: 1 REF: p. 11 OBJ: EL-3 | AL-2 MSC: NBRC: None

7. An adult patient complains of chest tightness and cough whenever he jogs in cold weather.
These symptoms are consistent with which of the following?
a. Cystic fibrosis
b. Asthma
c. Pulmonary hypertension
d. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

ANS: B
Agents or events that cause an asthmatic episode are called triggers (see Box 1-7, Chapter
1). Antigens such as animal dander, pollens, and dusts are the most common triggers. Other
common triggers include exposure to air pollutants and exercise in cold or dry air.

DIF: 2 REF: p. 16 OBJ: EL-3 MSC: NBRC: None
8. Which of the following statements concerning tumors in the upper airway is true?
a. There may be variable or fixed obstruction.
b. Fixed obstruction will be present.
c. Variable obstruction will be present.
d. Small airway obstruction will result.

ANS: A
Tumors involving the upper airway may cause variable or fixed obstruction.

DIF: 2 REF: p. 19 OBJ: EL-2
MSC: NBRC: CPFT 3C-3

9. Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder that usually causes which of the following?
a. A restrictive ventilatory defect
b. An obstructive ventilatory defect
c. Hyperreactive airways
d. Primary pulmonary hypertension

ANS: A
Restriction is often associated with the following: interstitial lung diseases, including
idiopathic fibrosis, pneumoconioses, and sarcoidosis.

, DIF: 1 REF: p. 19 | p. 21 OBJ: EL-3 MSC: NBRC: None

10. For which of the following conditions might pulmonary function testing be contraindicated?
a. Vocal cord dysfunction
b. Untreated pneumothorax
c. Congestive heart failure (CHF)
d. Bronchiolitis obliterans

ANS: B
Pulmonary function tests are usually contraindicated in the presence of pneumothorax.

and Legal Issues in Biotechnology**The rapidly advancing field of biotechnology, including genetic engineering,
cloning, and CRISPR technology, raises profound ethical and legal issues that involve life itself. These technologies offer
significant potential for medical breakthroughs but also pose risks that require careful consideration.#### 10.1 **Genetic
Engineering and Designer Babies**The ability to manipulate human genes through technologies like CRISPR brings
with it both excitement and ethical dilemmas. One of the most contentious ethical issues is the concept of "designer
babies," where genetic alterations are made to enhance physical or intellectual traits. The ethical concerns here involve
questions of eugenics, social inequality (if only the wealthy can access such technologies), and the potential unintended
consequences of genetic
11. Which of the following correctly describe(s) appropriate physical measurements before
pulmonary function testing?
1. Actual body weight should be used to calculate predicted values.
2. Standing height should be measured when the patient is barefoot.
3. Arm span should be used instead of height for a patient with kyphosis.
4. Age should be recorded to the nearest decade (10 years ).
a. 1 only
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 1 , 2, 3, and 4

ANS: B
Various physical measurements are required for estimating each patient’s expected level of
pulmonary function. Age to the nearest month, height to the nearest 0.1 cm, and weight are
usually recorded in addition to the patient’s gender. Race or ethnic origin should also be
recorded. (Although body weight is recorded, it is not used to calculate predicted values.)

DIF: 1 REF: p. 29 OBJ: None
MSC: NBRC: CPFT 3A-20

pulmonary function technologist should do which of the following?
a. Briefly explain the physiologic basis of the test.
