You should suspect that a patient is experiencing respiratory
failure if he or she:
A. has bradycardia and diminished muscle tone.
B. has an increased heart rate and retractions.
C. is anxious, tachycardic, and leaning forward.
D. is restless and is working hard to breathe. - ANSWER-A. has
bradycardia and diminished muscle tone.
A 19-year-old female is found unconscious by her roommate.
Your primary assessment reveals that her breathing is
inadequate. As you insert an oropharyngeal airway, she begins to
gag violently. You should:
A. remove the airway and be prepared to suction her
oropharynx.

B. select a smaller oropharyngeal airway and attempt to insert it.
C. continue to insert the airway as you suction her oropharynx.
D. insert the airway no further but leave it in place as a bite
block. - ANSWER-A. remove the airway and be prepared to
suction her oropharynx.
A man was found unresponsive in his bed at home. There is no
evidence of injury and the patient's medical history is not
known. The patient's face is cyanotic, yet the pulse oximeter
reads 98%. Which of the following would MOST likely explain
this?
A. Increased body temperature
B. His extremities are cold
C. Carbon monoxide poisoning
D. Severe pulmonary edema - ANSWER-C. Carbon monoxide
poisoning
A patient who is suspected of being hypoxic and is breathing
adequately should be given supplemental oxygen with a:
A. bag-valve mask.
,3|Page
B. nasal cannula.
C. nonrebreathing mask.
D. mouth-to-mask device. - ANSWER-C. nonrebreathing mask.
During your assessment of a patient with respiratory distress,

indicates:
A. fluid in the alveoli.
B. swelling of the upper airway.
C. a lower airway obstruction.
D. secretions in the airway. - ANSWER-C. a lower airway
obstruction.
How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in
patients with certain respiratory problems?
A. It pushes thick, infected pulmonary secretions into isolated
areas of the lung.
B. It prevents alveolar collapse by pushing air into the lungs
during inhalation.
, 4|Page
C. It forces the alveoli open and pushes oxygen across the
alveolar membrane.
D. It decreases intrathoracic pressure, which allows more room
for lung expansion. - ANSWER-C. It forces the alveoli open and
pushes oxygen across the alveolar membrane.
In which of the following patients would the head tilt-chin lift
maneuver be the MOST appropriate method of opening the
airway?
A. A 37-year-old female who is found unconscious in her bed
B. A 45-year-old male who is semiconscious after falling 20 feet
C. A 24-year-old male who is found unconscious at the base of a
tree
D. A 50-year-old male who is unconscious following head
trauma - ANSWER-A. A 37-year-old female who is found
