COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS WITH 100% RATED ANSWERS |
GUARANTEED TO PASS!!
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) - (CORRECT ANSWER)An irreversible
condition that results in progressive obstruction of airflow and includes chronic bronchitis and
emphysema
Chronic obstructive bronchitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Partially reversible airflow limitation as
well as the presence of chronic productive cough
Emphysema - (CORRECT ANSWER)Permanent enlargement of the air space distal to the
terminal bronchioles
Normal physiologic aging leads to how much decrease in FEV1 in 1 second/year? - (CORRECT
ANSWER)30cc/year
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) - (CORRECT ANSWER)The average flow rate
during the first second of a FVC maneuver. It is decreased by airflow limitation (airway
obstruction).
FVC-Forced Vital Capacity - (CORRECT ANSWER)The amount of air that can be exhaled
during a rapid forced exhalation after a maximum inhalation. It can be reduced due to disorders
causing lung restriction, airflow limitation causing air trapping, etc
Percent of predicted of FVC - (CORRECT ANSWER)How the client's FVC is compared to his
peers. Should be at least 80%
FEV1/FVC Ratio - (CORRECT ANSWER)Normal is >70%
, Percent of predicted FEV1 - (CORRECT ANSWER)How the client's FEV1 is compared to his
peers
Percent of predicted of FEV1/FVC Ratio - (CORRECT ANSWER)Less than 80% requires
attention
If FEV1/FVC ratio is < 70% -Obstruction (decreased speed of airflow) - (CORRECT
ANSWER)Obstructive diseases are COPD, Asthma, Emphysema, and Bronchitis
If Percent of predicted FVC is <80% - Restriction (decreased holding capacity of the lungs) -
(CORRECT ANSWER)Restrictive diseases are Fibrosis, Asbestosis, Sarcoidosis (remember
osis)
Cardinal symptom of COPD-Primary symptom for seeking medical care - (CORRECT
ANSWER)Dyspnea
COPD Primary risk factor - (CORRECT ANSWER)Current/past tobacco
COPD; May be the first symptom to develop - (CORRECT ANSWER)Chronic cough
COPD; usually results from chronic bronchitis - (CORRECT ANSWER)Chronic sputum
production
COPD diagnostic testing - (CORRECT ANSWER)• Spirometry
• Arterial blood gases
• Chest x-ray and CT scan
• Theophylline level
• WBC
• Sputum culture
