4. The ED nurse is assessing a client who A. Bronchoconstriction
is reporting dyspnea. The nurse
auscultates the
client's chest and hears wheezing
throughout the lung fields. What might
this indicate
about the client?
A. Bronchoconstriction
B. Pneumonia
C. Hemoptysis
D. Hemothorax

5. The nurse is caring for a client C. An arterial blood gas (ABG) study
admitted with an acute exacerbation of
chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. During
assessment, the nurse finds that the
client is
experiencing increased dyspnea. What is
the most accurate measurement of the
concentration of oxygen in the client's
blood?
A. A capillary blood sample
B. Pulse oximetry
C. An arterial blood gas (ABG) study
D. A complete blood count (CBC)
, Med/Surg Respiratory B & S Test Bank
7. A client with chronic lung disease is C. Tidal volume
undergoing lung function testing. What
test result
denotes the volume of air inspired and
expired with a normal breath?
A. Total lung capacity
B. Forced vital capacity
C. Tidal volume
D. Residual volume
8. In addition to heart rate, blood D. Pulse oximetry
pressure, respiratory rate, and
temperature, the nurse
needs to assess a client's arterial oxygen
saturation (SaO2). What procedure will
best
accomplish this?
A. Incentive spirometry
B. Arterial blood gas (ABG)
measurement
C. Peak flow measurement
D. Pulse oximetry

10. A client with a decreased level of B. Turn the client to enable assessment of all lung fields.
consciousness is in a recumbent position.
How
should the nurse best assess the lung
fields for a client in this position?
A. Review images from the client's
portable chest x-ray.
B. Turn the client to enable assessment of
all lung fields.
C. Assess the breath sounds accessible
from the anterior chest wall.
D. Assess oxygen saturation and, if low,
reposition the client and auscultate
breath
sounds.
