GAS EXCHANGE PERFUSION TEST NSG 170 || ALL
ACCURATELY ANSWERED.


eupnea correct answers normal respiratory rate


newborn breathing rate correct answers 30-80 breaths per minute


infants breathing rate correct answers 30-60 breaths per minute


toddlers breathing rate correct answers 20-40 breaths per minute


preschoolers breathing rate correct answers 22-34 breaths per minute


school age children breathing rate correct answers 15-25 breaths per minute


adolescents/adults breathing rate correct answers 12-20 breaths per minute


older adults breathing rate correct answers 15-20 breaths per minute


half correct answers inspiration is ______ the rate of expiration


visceral pleura correct answers covers surface of each lung


parietal pleura correct answers lines inside of chest wall


pleural space correct answers region between the parietal and visceral pleura

,bronchial sounds correct answers loud, high pitched, heard over trachea
-longer on exhalation than inhalation


bronchovesicular sounds correct answers medium in loudness and pitch, heard on each side of
the stream and between the scapulae
-each in duration over inhalation and exhalation


vesicular sounds correct answers soft, low pitched heard over peripheral lunch fields
-longer in inhalation than exhalation
-most prominently heard over lung bases


V-Q ratio correct answers represents the movement of O2 across the alveolar-capillary
membrane into capillary


level of CO2 correct answers drive to breathe depends on this, when this rises, receptor sites in
the medulla and pons stimulate an increase in rate and/or depth of ventilation


aortic arch and carotid arteries correct answers receptors sites in these locations monitor O2
levels, and induce inspiration when levels fall below normal


concentration of H+ in arterial blood (pH) correct answers respiration drive stimulated by this


CO2 and H+ correct answers -increased H+ -> increased CO2 and pH decreased)
-decreased H+ -> decreased CO2 and pH increased


kussmal breathing correct answers Deep, rapid exhalations increased elimination of CO2
affecting acid-base balance, occurs in metabolic acidosis (fruity acetone breath)

,cheyne-stokes respirations correct answers deep, rapid breathing and slow, shallow breathing
with periods of apnea , occurs in congestive heart failure, increased intracranial pressure (ICP),
and drug overdoses


biot respirations correct answers shallow, irregular breathing with periods of apnea, occur in
CNS disorders


pneumothorax correct answers air enters into the pleural space causing loss of negative pressure
necessary to produce lung expansion for inhalation, air may enter thru opening in chest wall or
opening in lung, causing lung collapse


signs and symptoms of pneumothorax correct answers -sudden sharp pleuritic pain, worsened by
breathing and coughing
-decreased or absent breathing sounds over the affected side
-asymmetrical chest wall movement
-SOB
-cyanosis


tension pneumothorax correct answers results from trauma / injury (life threatening emergency)


spontaneous pneumothorax correct answers occurs from unknown cause


possible causes of pneumothorax correct answers -ruptured BLEB (COPD)
-needle stab from thoracentesis
-trauma
-secondary infection
(diagnosed by X-rays and ABG's)


treatment for pneumothorax correct answers chest tube o2

, possible causes of dyspnea (6 P's) correct answers -Pulmonary bronchial constriction
-Possible foreign body
-Pulmonary embolus
-Pneumothorax
-Pneumonia
-Pump (heart) failure


population at a high risk for respiratory disorders correct answers -children <1 year of age
-older adults


risk factors for respiratory/oxygenation disorders correct answers -significant inherited pattern of
variation in hemoglobin concentration (hematocrit has a lower genetic effect)
-women: lower concentrations of hemoglobin and hematocrit (mensuration and pregnancy)


modifiable risk factors for decreased oxygenation correct answers -heart: hypertension and
atherosclerosis
-obesity
-T2D
-smoking
-stress/anxiety


nicotine replacement therapy correct answers -patches, lozenges, gum, oral inhalers, nasal spray
-combined w behavioral counseling increases the likelihood of abstinence from smoking


-increased mucus production
-reduced cilia action in airway passages correct answers tobacco smoke exposure can cause
