CHAPTER 53- COURSEPOINT
The squad transported the victim of an MVI to a trauma center, intubated
and unresponsive. The patient is connected to a vent and transferred to
ICU. The patient's head and neck injuries could be affecting the respiratory
rate and depth, suggesting possible injury to which part of the patient's
brain? - Ans--medulla oblongata.
Which would a nurse identify as being involved with acute respiratory
distress syndrome?
A. Progressive loss of lung compliance
B. Collapse of the alveoli
C. Permanent inflammation of the airways
D. Hyperresponsiveness of the airways - Ans--Progressive loss of lung
compliance
Which condition would be the result of air in the pleural space? - Ans--
Pneumothorax
A group of students are reviewing the mechanics of oxygen and carbon
dioxide exchange in the alveoli. The students demonstrate understanding
when they identify which mechanism as being responsible? - Ans--
Diffusion
An instructor is teaching a class about the disorders that may affect the
movement of gases into and out of the lungs. The instructor determines the
need for additional teaching when the students identify which condition as
being involved?
, A. Sinusitis
B. Bronchitis
C. Atelectasis
D. Cystic fibrosis - Ans--Sinusitis. Sinusitis is an upper respiratory tract

b.it can lead to a painful otitis media.
c.if it is left untreated, microorganisms can travel to brain tissue.
d.drainage from infected sinus membranes often leads to pneumonia. -
Ans--c
2. Diffusion of CO2 from the tissues into the capillary blood
a.occurs if the tissue concentration of CO2 is greater than that in the blood.
b.decreases as blood acidity increases.
c.increases in the absence of carbonic anhydrase.
