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. Which of the following terms refers to the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after
a maximal inhalation?
a) Tidal Volume (VT)
b) Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
c) Vital Capacity (VC)
d) Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)



ANS: c) Vital Capacity (VC)
Rationale: VC represents the maximum amount of air exhaled after a full inspiration. VT refers to
normal breathing volume; ERV is additional volume exhaled after a normal breath; FRC is the air
remaining in the lungs after a normal exhalation.



5.DLCO measurements may be indicated to evaluate pulmonary involvement in which of
the following systemic diseases?
e. Asthma
f. Sarcoidosis
g. Exertional hypoxemia
h. Guillain-Barré syndrome


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




2. Which gas law describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant
temperature, fundamental to spirometry?
a) Charles’ Law
b) Dalton’s Law
c) Boyle’s Law
d) Henry’s Law



ANS: c) Boyle’s Law
Rationale: Boyle’s law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas varies inversely
with its volume. This principle underlies lung volume measurements during spirometry.



3. Residual Volume (RV) is best defined as:
a) The amount of air exhaled in a single normal breath
b) The maximum volume exhaled after maximal inspiration
