Ace your pulmonary function testing exams with this comprehensive test bank based on *Ruppel’s Manual of Pulmonary Function Testing*, 12th Edition by Mottram, covering Chapters 1–13 with updated study material. This resource is designed to help respiratory therapy, nursing, and allied health students review essential concepts, including pulmonary function testing principles, spirometry, lung volumes and capacities, gas exchange, diffusion testing, airway obstruction, restrictive lung diseases, test interpretation, quality control, and respiratory assessment. With coverage of Chapters 1–13, the material provides structured practice through exam-style questions and answers to reinforce pulmonary function testing knowledge and clinical application. Reviewing the questions and answers can help students identify knowledge gaps, strengthen analytical and interpretation skills, understand pulmonary function results, and prepare effectively for quizzes, midterms, final exams, respiratory therapy assessments, and other pulmonary function testing examinations.

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

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.

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
