NURS 5355 Final Exam Questions with Correct Answers | Grade A

determine difficult intubation with? Ans: LEMONS size of tongue to oral cavity? Ans: Mallampati Classification Score absolute CI in endotracheal intubation? Ans: total upper airway obstruction or loss of oropharyngeal landmarks from trauma or burns pressure on cricoid cartilage to compress esophagus to prevent regurg during intubation? Ans: Sellick's Maneuver insert blade with ? hand on ? of the mouth? Ans: left hand & on right side of the mouth to displace tongue to the left 2 aligns the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes? Ans: sniffing position for intubation goal of preoxygenation? Ans: maximize arterial PaO2 & denitrogenation of functional residual capacity maximizes time for intubation w/o O2 desaturation (7-9 min in healthy adult) Room Air is? Ans: primarily 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen rapid onset and short duration paralytic? Ans: Succinylcholine: 30-45 sec; 5-10 mins Increases K levels rescue breaths during CPR? Ans: less important; interrupts chest compressions and increases intrathoracic pressure 3 see base of the uvula? Ans: Class III Mallampati soft palate not visible? Ans: Class IV Mallampati difficult BVM ventilation? Ans: MOANS oxygenation versus ventilation? Ans: O2 to blood and tissues versus air in and out of the lungs precludes apneic patient requiring crash airway? Ans: RSI steps to RSI? Ans: prepare, assess (LEMONS) & preoxygenate (MOANS), medications Crash intubation? 4 Ans: no RSI in unconscious or apneic patient due to cardiac arrest occurs with inspiratory effort- inspiratory stridor? Ans: Laryngospasm- forced glottic closure but with inspiration induce amnesia, reduces autonomic reflex activity, no analgesia? Ans: Sedative
