NURS328 EXAM 1 Questions With
Complete Solutions
Restrictive respiratory disease correct answer: Reduced
expansion of the lung;
Ex. chest wall disorders, acute/chronic interstitial and infiltrated
diseases
Clinical manifestation of restrictive respiratory disease correct
answer: Decreased expansion of lung tissue/chest wall
elasticity, decreased total lung capacity, normal residual volume
Pneumonia correct answer: An inflammation of lung tissue,
where the alveoli in the affected areas fill w/fluid
Pathophysiology of pneumonia correct answer: Microorganism
enters lung --> colonization of microorganism in alveoli -->
inflammatory response --> accumulation of fluid in alveoli -->
edema --> impaired gas exchange
Community-acquired pneumonia correct answer: A type of
pneumonia that results from contagious infection outside of a
hospital or clinic; must occur at least 48 hours before
hospitalization
Hospital-acquired pneumonia correct answer: Pneumonia
occurring 48 hours or longer after hospital admission, not
incubating at the time of hospitalization; can occur due to
intubation
, Aspiration pneumonia correct answer: Fluid, food or something
is aspirated into the lungs, causing a pneumococcal infection
Opportunistic pneumonia correct answer: Occurs in certain
patients with altered immune responses who are highly
susceptible to respiratory infections
Clinical manifestation of pneumonia correct answer: Decreased
lung elasticity, decreased vital capacity, decreased surfactant
production, hypoxemia (decreased oxygenated blood)
Pneumonia risk factors correct answer: Very young or very old
age, multiple illnesses/chronic illness, lowered immune
response, hx of infection exposure, smoking, no inoculations
(vaccines), increased risk of aspiration, malnourishment
S/S of pneumonia correct answer: Cough, fever, shaking chills,
dyspnea, tachycardia, pleuritic pain
S/S of pneumonia in older adults correct answer: Confusion,
lethargy
NOTE: older individuals can have a lower resting body
temperature, so a temperature WDL can actually mean the
individual has a fever
Complications of pneumonia correct answer: Pleurisy, pleural
effusion, atelectasis, bacteremia/sepsis, lung abscess, empyema,
pericarditis, endocarditis, meningitis, arthritis, acute RDS, death
