the active, muscular part of breathing is called: - ANSWER inhalation
A 22-year-old man crashed his motorcycle into a tree. He is found approximately 20 feet
away from his bike and is responsive to pain only. He is not wearing a helmet. You are unable
to effectively open his airway using the jaw-thrust maneuver. What should you do? -
ANSWER Carefully tilt his head back and lift up on his chin.
what is the function of pulmonary surfactant? - ANSWER it lubricates the alveolar
walls and allows them to expand and recoil.
which of the following devices is contraindicated in patients with blunt thoracic trauma? -
ANSWER Oxygen-powered ventilator.
You are performing abdominal thrusts on a 19-year-old male with a severe airway
obstruction when he becomes unresponsive. After lowering him to the ground and placing
him in a supine position, you should: - ANSWER begin CPR, starting with chest
compressions.
As you begin ventilating an unresponsive apneic man, you hear gurgling in his upper airway.
Your MOST immediate action should be to - ANSWER quickly turn the patient onto his
side so secretions can drain
2
,Which of the following injuries or conditions should be managed FIRST -
ANSWER Bleeding within the oral cavity
You are assessing a 66-year-old man who has emphysema and complains of worsened
shortness of breath. He is confused, has a heart rate of 120 beats/min, and an oxygen
saturation of 89%. Which of the following assessment findings should concern you the
MOST? - ANSWER Confusion
An inaccurate pulse oximetry reading may be caused by: - ANSWER severe peripheral
vasoconstriction.
A patient who is breathing with reduced tidal volume would MOST likely have -
ANSWER shallow respirations
During your assessment of an unresponsive adult female, you determine that she is apneic.
You should: - ANSWER assess for a carotid pulse.
In which of the following situations would you MOST likely encounter agonal gasps? -
ANSWER Shortly after becoming unresponsive and pulseless
A patient overdosed on heroin and is unresponsive. He is cyanotic; he has slow, shallow
breathing; and his oxygen saturation is 80%. The primary cause of this patient's condition is
inadequate - ANSWER ventilation
which of the following statements regarding the head tilt-chin lift maneuver is correct? -
ANSWER it should be used in conjunction with an appropriate airway adjunct.
Hypoxia is defined as: - ANSWER inadequate oxygen to the body's cells and tissues.
Which of the following signs or symptoms is indicative of cerebral hypoxia -
ANSWER decreased level of consciousness
3
, Clinically, reduced tidal volume would MOST likely present with respirations that are: -
ANSWER shallow
To obtain the most reliable assessment of a patient's tidal volume, you should -
ANSWER look at the rise of the chest
A patient overdosed on several drugs and is unresponsive with shallow breathing and facial
cyanosis. As you continue your assessment, the patient suddenly vomits. You should: -
ANSWER turn the patient onto his side
A properly placed oropharyngeal airway - ANSWER keeps the tongue off of the
posterior pharynx.
An elderly woman with COPD is semiconscious with labored breathing. Her face is cyanotic,
her pulse is rapid and weak, and her oxygen saturation is 75%. You should -
ANSWER ventilate her with a bag-valve-mask device and high-flow oxygen.
Shallow breathing is an indication of: - ANSWER decreased tidal volume.
During your initial attempt to ventilate an unresponsive apneic patient, you meet resistance
and do not see the patient's chest rise. You should - ANSWER reposition the head and
reattempt to ventilate
If an adult patient presents with a respiratory rate of 26 breaths/min, your initial action
should be to - ANSWER Evaluate his mental status and the depth of his respirations
To ensure you deliver the highest concentration of oxygen with a nonrebreathing mask, you
should: - ANSWER make sure the reservoir bag is pre-inflated
