1. A patient has a history of emphysema and has hyperinflated lungs. Which of
the following would be true regarding this patient?: Increased lung compliance
2. The compliance within the apex of the lung of a standing person would be
than the base of the lung: Less than
3. The space between the lungs that include the heart, esophagus, and the
great vessels is termed: Mediastinum
4. Which of the following is true regarding acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS)-
: It can cause severe pulmonary edema
5. Pulmonary fibrosis is most likely to result in all of the following except: Oxy-
gen toxicity
6. Emphysema results from: An infected pleural effusion
7. A reduced oxygenation of the blood is termed: Hypoxemia
8. Along with respiratory bronchioles, the is a thin walled balloon-liked
structure that acts as the primary unit of gas exchange: Alveolus
9. The most common feature as a result of hyperventilation is: Hypocapnia
10. The pores of Kohn play a role in: Allowing air to pass from one alveoli to
another, allowing equal distribution of air
11. What effect would acidemia at the alveolar level have on the pulmonary
artery: Decreased blood flow (vasoconstriction) to the area
12. While most alveolar perfusion is under control of local humoral conditions,
widespread decrease in PaO2 (alveolar O2) is likely to result in: Pulmonary
artery contriction (pulmonary hypertension)
13. A pulmonary embolus creating alveolar dead space will likely have which
of the following effects: High V/Q ratio
14. Severe bronchospasm not responsive to the normal measures (beta ago-
nist bronchodilators) is best described as:: Status asthmaticus
15. All of the following are findings consistent with pulmonary fibrosis EX-
CEPT: Increased lung compliance
16. Which of the following does NOT increase airway resistance (increase the
1 b/
5
, work of breathing): Activation of the sympathetic nervous system effects on the
airways
17. The effect of H+ on oxygen binding to hemoglobin is termed the
effect: Bohr
18. What happens to the functional residual capacity in COPD: It increases,
resetting the TV to a higher volume
19. Acidosis will the affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin and thus would be
considered a shift in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve: Decrease,
right
