Test Bank for Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation 7th Edition by Jimmy M. Cairo – Questions with Correct Answers, Exam Prep 2026Prepare for respiratory therapy, mechanical ventilation, critical care, and NBRC-related examinations with this comprehensive Test Bank for Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation: Physiological and Clinical Applications, 7th Edition by Jimmy M. Cairo. The textbook provides detailed coverage of mechanical ventilation principles and clinical applications, including ventilator operation, breath delivery, indications for mechanical ventilation, ventilator modes and settings, patient assessment, ventilator graphics, respiratory and hemodynamic monitoring, oxygenation, ARDS, ventilator-associated pneumonia, sedation and analgesia, troubleshooting, noninvasive ventilation, weaning, long-term ventilation, and neonatal and pediatric ventilation. Elsevier identifies the 7th edition as a respiratory-care resource with NBRC RRT-ACCS exam-oriented learning objectives and end-of-chapter assessment questions.

MULTIPLE CHOICE b




1. The body’s mechanism for conducting air in and out of the lungs is
b b b b b b b b b b b b




known as which of the following?
b b b b b b




a. External respiration b




b. Internal respiration b




c. Spontaneous ventilation b




d. Mechanical ventilation b




ANS: C b




The conduction of air in and out of the body is known as ventilation.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




Since the question asks for the body’s mechanism, this would be
b b b b b b b b b b b




spontaneous ventilation. External respiration involves the exchange
b b b b b b b




of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and the
b b b b b b b b b b b b




pulmonary capillaries. Internal respiration occurs at the cellular
b b b b b b b b




level and involves movement of oxygen from the systemic blood into
b b b b b b b b b b b




the cells.
b b




DIF: 1 REF: pg. 3 b b




2. Which of the following are involved in external respiration?
b b b b b b b b




a. Red blood cells and body cells b b b b b




b. Scalenes and trapezius b b




muscles
c. Alveoli and pulmonary b b




capillaries
d. External oblique and b b




transverse abdominal muscles b b

muscles of expiration.

3. The graph that shows intrapleural pressure changes during
b b b b b b b




normal spontaneous breathing is depicted by which of the
b b b b b b b b b




following?
b




a.
b.
c.
d.


ANS: B b




During spontaneous breathing the intrapleural pressure drops from
b b b b b b b




about -5 cm H2O at end-expiration to about -10 cm H2O at end-
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




inspiration. The graph depicted for answer B shows that change

4. During spontaneous inspiration alveolar pressure (PA) is about:
b b b b b b b




.
a. - 1 cm H2O b b b




b. +1 cm H2O b b b




c. 0 cm H2O b b




d. 5 cm H2O b b




ANS: A b




-1 cm H2O is the lowest alveolar pressure will become during normal
