, CHAPTER 01: HISTORY OF RESPIRATORY CARE
Q1.
The origins of modern respiratory therapy can be traced most directly to:
A. The invention of the stethoscope
B. The polio epidemics of the 1940s–1950s
C. Discovery of antibiotics
D. The introduction of surgical anesthesia
Answer: B. The polio epidemics of the 1940s–1950s
Rationale: Polio outbreaks caused widespread respiratory muscle paralysis,
requiring prolonged ventilation in “iron lungs.” This urgent need led to the
establishment of respiratory therapy as a profession. The stethoscope (A)
and anesthesia (D) were medical advances, but not directly tied to
respiratory therapy’s beginnings. Antibiotics (C) influenced infection
treatment, not mechanical ventilation practices.
Q2.
The first professional organization for respiratory therapists, established in
1947, was:
A. National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC)
B. American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC)
C. Inhalation Therapy Association (ITA)
D. American Thoracic Society (ATS)
Answer: C. Inhalation Therapy Association (ITA)
Rationale: The ITA was founded in 1947 as the first society representing
inhalation therapists. It later became the American Association for
Inhalation Therapy (AAIT) and then the AARC in 1982. The NBRC (A)
manages credentialing, not professional representation. The ATS (D) is
primarily a physician-scientist organization.
