MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who first popularized spirometry for the evaluation of pulmonary
function?
a. August and Marie Krogh
b. Alvan Barach
c. John Severinghaus
d. John Hutchinson
ANSWER: D
, 2
Hutchinson popularized the concept of using VC to assess
lung function, and the names he gave to several other lung
compartments are still used today.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 2 OBJ: None MSC: NBRC: None
2. Which of the following are indications for performing spirometry?
1. Assess the risk of lung resection.
2. Determine the response to bronchodilator therapy.
3. Assess the severity of restrictive lung disease.
4. Quantify the extent of COPD.
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 2 , 3, and 4
ANSWER: C
Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction; for that you
need to measure lung volumes ( see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).

3. The main indication for the measurement of lung volumes is to do
which of the following?
a. Diagnose or assess the severity of restriction.
b. Evaluate the severity of pulmonary hypertension.
c. Determine the level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
d. Assess the risk of abdominal surgical procedures.
ANSWER: A
The most common reason for measuring lung volumes is to
identify restrictive lung disease. DIF: 1 REF: p.

4. DLCO measurements may be indicated to evaluate
pulmonary involvement in which of the following systemic
diseases?
a. Asthma
b. Sarcoidosis
c. Exertional hypoxemia
, d. Guillain-Barré syndrome
ANSWER: B
Sarcoidosis is the only systemic disease
listed that affects gas exchange. DIF: 1
REF: p. 9 | p. 19 | p. 21 | p. 35 OBJ: EL-2
MSC: NBRC: None
5. Blood gas analysis is used with patients
with COPD to do which of the
following?
a. Monitor airway responsiveness.
b. Determine level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
c. Detect pulmonary hypertension.
d. Assess need for supplementary O2.
ANSWER: D
Blood gas analysis is most commonly used to determine the
need for supplemental oxygen and to manage patients who
require ventilatory support.
