ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Which of the following would be a symptom of atelectasis? - CORRECT
ANSWER Reduced breath sounds
To treat atelectasis in a patient with a vital capacity of <10 ml/kg you should choose: -
CORRECT ANSWER EzPAP/AccuPAP
What therapy combines patient negative pressure breathing with a fluidic process augmenting
flow (Coanda Effect) on inspiration with positive expiratory pressure/flow? - CORRECT
ANSWER EzPAP/AccuPAP
Which therapy would be most appropriate for a postoperative patient with atelectasis who is
unable to cooperate? - CORRECT ANSWER EzPAP/AccuPAP
To instruct a patient to breathe on EzPAP/AccuPAP you would instruct them to : - CORRECT
ANSWER Breathe in and out normally using your diaphragm with a prolonged
exhalation.
Which would be used if a patient's vital capacity is > 15 ml/kg? - CORRECT
ANSWER Incentive spirometry
Due to the augmented flow effect, if the flowmeter is set at 10 lpm, what is the total flow
from the EzPAP/AccuPAP? - CORRECT ANSWER 40 lpm
EzPAP/AccuPAP therapy can include all of the following except: - CORRECT
ANSWER Oscillation
T/F: An SVN can be added to EzPAP/AccuPAP - CORRECT ANSWER True
, T/F: With EzPAP/AccuPAP exhale longer than inspiration. - CORRECT
ANSWER True
Which of the following would be appropriate for placement on noninvasive ventilation? -
CORRECT ANSWER pH 7.30, PaCo2 50, RR 29
The BiPAP or V 60 ventilator can be used non-invasively in all of the following except: -
CORRECT ANSWER In a patient with facial trauma
T/F: The Respironics V 60 BiPAP/Ventilator use with invasive (ET or Trach) patients is
possible, but not FDA approved, must meet the same criteria as non-invasive applications and
requires a change in interface and settings. - CORRECT ANSWER True
T/F: After cleaning, to set it up for the next patient, you need to perform a function check
manually. - CORRECT ANSWER False. The function check is performed before each
patient use.
Components of a noninvasive circuit are all of the following except: - CORRECT
ANSWER Water trap
Choose all that apply:
To correctly set the low inspiratory pressure (LIP) alarm, it should be : - CORRECT
ANSWER Below the IPAP
Above the EPAP
Your patient settings are IPAP 10 cmH2O and EPAP 5 cmH2O.To effectively increase the
patient's tidal volume and increase FRC, you would: - CORRECT ANSWER Increase
IPAP to 14 cmH2O and EPAP to 7 cmH2O
