Answers Graded A+ And Brand New
the active, muscular part of breathing is called: - answer--inhalation
A 22-year-old man crashed his motorcycle into a tree. He is found
approximately 20 feet away from his bike and is responsive to pain only.
He is not wearing a helmet. You are unable to effectively open his
airway using the jaw-thrust maneuver. What should you do? - answer--
Carefully tilt his head back and lift up on his chin.
what is the function of pulmonary surfactant? - answer--it lubricates the
alveolar walls and allows them to expand and recoil.
which of the following devices is contraindicated in patients with blunt
thoracic trauma? - answer--Oxygen-powered ventilator.
You are performing abdominal thrusts on a 19-year-old male with a
severe airway obstruction when he becomes unresponsive. After
lowering him to the ground and placing him in a supine position, you
should: - answer--begin CPR, starting with chest compressions.
,As you begin ventilating an unresponsive apneic man, you hear gurgling
in his upper airway. Your MOST immediate action should be to - answer-
-quickly turn the patient onto his side so secretions can drain
Which of the following injuries or conditions should be managed FIRST -
answer--Bleeding within the oral cavity
You are assessing a 66-year-old man who has emphysema and
complains of worsened shortness of breath. He is confused, has a heart
rate of 120 beats/min, and an oxygen saturation of 89%. Which of the
following assessment findings should concern you the MOST? - answer--
Confusion
An inaccurate pulse oximetry reading may be caused by: - answer--
severe peripheral vasoconstriction.
A patient who is breathing with reduced tidal volume would MOST likely
have - answer--shallow respirations
During your assessment of an unresponsive adult female, you
determine that she is apneic. You should: - answer--assess for a carotid
pulse.
,In which of the following situations would you MOST likely encounter
agonal gasps? - answer--Shortly after becoming unresponsive and
pulseless
A patient overdosed on heroin and is unresponsive. He is cyanotic; he
has slow, shallow breathing; and his oxygen saturation is 80%. The
primary cause of this patient's condition is inadequate - answer--
ventilation
which of the following statements regarding the head tilt-chin lift
maneuver is correct? - answer--it should be used in conjunction with an
appropriate airway adjunct.
Hypoxia is defined as: - answer--inadequate oxygen to the body's cells
and tissues.
Which of the following signs or symptoms is indicative of cerebral
hypoxia - answer--decreased level of consciousness
Clinically, reduced tidal volume would MOST likely present with
respirations that are: - answer--shallow
To obtain the most reliable assessment of a patient's tidal volume, you
should - answer--look at the rise of the chest
, A patient overdosed on several drugs and is unresponsive with shallow
breathing and facial cyanosis. As you continue your assessment, the
patient suddenly vomits. You should: - answer--turn the patient onto his
side
A properly placed oropharyngeal airway - answer--keeps the tongue off
of the posterior pharynx.
An elderly woman with COPD is semiconscious with labored breathing.
Her face is cyanotic, her pulse is rapid and weak, and her oxygen
saturation is 75%. You should - answer--ventilate her with a bag-valve-
mask device and high-flow oxygen.
Shallow breathing is an indication of: - answer--decreased tidal volume.
During your initial attempt to ventilate an unresponsive apneic patient,
you meet resistance and do not see the patient's chest rise. You should -
answer--reposition the head and reattempt to ventilate
If an adult patient presents with a respiratory rate of 26 breaths/min,
your initial action should be to - answer--Evaluate his mental status and
the depth of his respirations
