FPCC EXAM QUESTIONS |
GUARANTEED ACCURATE
ANSWERS
Assessing respiratory effort/dyspnea - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 1.
nasal flaring- visible enlargement of nostrils with inhalation
2. retractions- visible pulling in. caused by negative pressures generated
in chest to increase depth of resp.
3. use of accessory muscles- using intercostals, abdominal muscles, or
neck and shoulders when there is an increased demand for O2
4. grunting- noisy, difficulty breathing
5. body positioning to facilitate respirations
6. paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea- sudden awakening due to shortness of
breath that begins during sleep
7. conversational dyspnea- inability to speak complete sentences without
stopping to breath
,8. stridor- high pitched, harsh, crowing, inspiratory sound caused by
partial obstruction of the larynx or trachea
9. wheezing- a musical sound produced by air passing through partially
obstructed small airways. (heard in pts with asthma & lung congestion)
10.diminished/absent breath sounds- signs of worsening ventilation &
oxygenation
Cheyne-Stokes respiration - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ gradual
increase in depth of respirations, followed by a gradual decrease in
depth, then a period of apnea
Biot's respirations - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ slow respiration's,
fewer than 10 breaths/min
Kussmaul respirations - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ regular but
increased in rate and abnormally deep respirations
bradypnea - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ slow respirations, fewer than
10 breaths/min
Tachypnea - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ fast, shallow breathing. more
than 24 breaths/min.
,Eupnea - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ normal breathing rate; rate about
12-20 breaths/min
How facts impact a patients oxygenation? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ 1. stress- suppressed immune & inflamm response
increases risk of infection
2. allergic reactions- overresponse to an antigen
3. air quality- air pollution triggers respiratory problems
4. altitude- pressure falls leads to decreased oxygen diffusion
5. temp- additional energy to maintain body temp increases amount of
oxygen the body is using
6. pregnancy- oxygen demand increases
7. occupational hazards- may affect pulmonary function by irritating
airways & causing cancer
8. nutrition- poor nutrition can lead to loss of ventilatory muscle strength
, 9. exercise- increases metabolic demands and rate & depth of breathing
10. substance abuse- can cause hypoventilation, apnea, and resp. failure
11. smoking- constricts bronchioles, increases fluid secretion, & causes
fluid of bronchial lining
12. meds- depress respirations13. patho conditions- poor exchange alters
levels of O2 & CO2 in blood
Respiration - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ exchange of the gases
oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs
Ventilation - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ movement of air into and out
of the lungs through the act of breathing
Hypocapnia - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ CO2 deficit
Hypercapnia - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ excess CO2 in blood
Hypoxemia - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ a low level in the blood
