This document is a Test Bank for the 8th Edition of the textbook, Wilkins' Clinical Assessment in Respiratory Care, authored by Albert J. Heuer and Craig L. Scanlan. It contains questions covering Chapters 1 through 21 and is designed to assess the knowledge and clinical skills required of respiratory therapists.
