NURS 190 Quiz #3
A client with COPD is expected to have which type of chest configuration? - ANS -barrel
chest
\Blocked airflow is... - ANS -characterized by adventitious sound that is high-pitched and
continues on auscultation
\Differentiate between bradypnea and hypoventilation - ANS -bradypnea: slow, regular
rhythm
-hypoventilation: slow, irregular rhythm
\Differentiate between tachypnea and hyperventilation - ANS -tachypnea: fast, regular
rhythm, rapid over 20 rpm, shallow
-hyperventilation: fast, deep
\How do you assess for bronchophony, egophony, and whispered pectoriloguy? - ANS
-auscultation with a stethoscope
\How many lobes in the lungs? - ANS -right lung: 3 lobes
-left lung: 2 lobes

sound? - ANS -bronchovesicular
