A - Nightingale
T/F: Ventilation is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at the cellular level.
- ANSWER False
Diffusion is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at the cellular level
Ventilation is the process of moving respiratory gases into and out of the lungs
T/F: A severely anemic patient may experience tachypnea during routine daily
activities. - ANSWER True.
Reduced hemoglobin levels result in reduced oxygen-carrying capacity that leads
to decreased oxygen saturation. The body compensates by increasing the
respiratory rate
What are signs & symptoms of hypoxia (low cellular and tissue oxygen) -
ANSWER restlessness (early sign of hypoxia)
irritability
anxiety
confusion/disorientation
Decreased ability to concentrate
Aletered level of consciousness
Syncope
Altered behavior
increased pulse rate (tachycardia)
increased respiratory rate (tachypnea)
Elevated BP
Cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular/and or premature rhythms)
,Pallor
Complaints of dyspnea (breathlessness)
Cyanosis (usually a late sign of hypoxia)
What causes hypoxia? - ANSWER Inadequate tissue oxygen w/
adequate blood supply
Develops from a deficiency in oxygen delivery or oxygen utilization at the cellular
level
T/F: A patient with a "normal" respiratory rate cannot become hypoxic -
ANSWER False.
An individula can have a normal ventilation rate and be unable to absorb enough
oxygen to sustain normal tissue and organ function
T/F: The appearance of cyanosis around the lips and fingertips of the patient may
be the result of chronic respiratory impairment. - ANSWER True.
Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes, is caused by
inadequate oxygenation of the bloodstream. Patients with chronic lung diseases
(COPD) may exhibit cyanosis.
T/F: An elevated pulse rate is the body's attempt to increase oxygen delivery to the
tissues. - ANSWER True.
An increase in pulse rate is an adaptive response to meet the body's oxygen
demand. The increased pulse rate may occur in conjunction with an increased
respiratory rate that attempts to increase oxygen supply.
What are the 3 cough types? - ANSWER Huff; Cascade; Quad
, Which type of cough stimulates the natural cough reflex and is helpful in clearing
the large central airways such as the tracheobronchial tree.? - ANSWER
Huff cough
T/F: A patient with an acute onset of pneumonia is coughing copious amounts of
secretions. The best coughing technique to teach a patient is the huff cough -
ANSWER False
The best coughing technique for large volumes of sputum is the cascade cough.
T/F: Coughing maintains patency of the airway by removing secretions and/or
foreign body materials. - ANSWER True.
Coughing is a protective mechanism that assists in maintaining airway patency.
Assisting a patient, a paraplegic patient w/ bronchitis, by supporting his abdominal
muscles during forced expiration and coughing is an example of huff coughing. -
ANSWER False.
this is an example of quad coughing.
The quad cough is used w/ patients who lack control of their abdominal muscles
(patients w/ spinal cord injuries and patienst w/ recent abdominal surgery)
T/F: Patients at risk for airway obstruction should be encountered to breathe deeply
and cough at least once every 4 hours. - ANSWER False.
Patients at risk for airway obstruction should be encouraged to cough at least every
hour.
