FCCN 2 - Complete Solutions For Every Question
How do you calculate Minute Ventilation? Correct Ans -
Respiratory Rate x Tidal Volume
What are three reasons to intubate? Correct Ans - 1. Pt is
unable to protect their airway
2. Pt is unable to oxygenate properly
3. Pt is unable to ventilate properly
Which of the following would not be an indication that the patient
may need to be intubated?
A. Pt has increased work of breathing, anxiety
B. Pt is tyachacardic, with wheezing and grunting
C. Pt has periodic resolving pleural effusions upon Xray findings
D. Pt is in tripod position and having retractions or nasal flaring
Correct Ans - C
What is the role of the RN during intubation? Correct Ans - To
monitor the patient!
What does ROME stand for? Correct Ans - Respiratory
Opposite
Metabolic
Equal
Is high pH Acidic or Basic? Correct Ans - Basic (Alkalosis)
What could be the cause of Metabolic Acidosis? Correct Ans -
DKA, Anaerobic Metabolism, Diarrhea, Shock, Renal Failure
PEEP stands for?
, What does it assess? Correct Ans - PEEP stands for Positive
End Expiratory Pressure and it assesses oxygenation. Another word
for PEEP is CPAP
Would a patient with a high CO2 be placed on CPAP or BiPAP?
Correct Ans - BiPAP because CO2 is a ventilation issue
Intubation Medication Administration includes what classes of
drugs and in what order? Correct Ans - Pre-Medication
-Midazolam (amnesia), Fentanyl
Induction (sedative)
-Etomdiate, Ketamine, Propofol
Neuromuscular Blockade (paralytic)
-Succinylcholine, Rocuronium
In order to avoid VAP (a complication of intubation) what should be
done? Correct Ans - Oral cares
Which of the following is not a disadvantage to PEEP?
A. Barotrauma
B. Valutrauma
C. Decreased blood pressure, Increased ICP
D. Increased blood pressure, Decreased ICP Correct Ans - D
What Ventilator setting is considered for lung protective
ventilation? Correct Ans - Tidal volume (because it wont over
distend the alveoli)
CMV and SIMV Correct Ans - Continuous mandatory
ventilation has a set rate of breaths and tidal volume, cannot breathe
over the vent. Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation has
