PATH 1000 Final Exam Questions with
100% Correct Answers
What is pulmonary disease?— Correct Answer: Type of disease that affects the
lungs and other associated parts of the respiratory system.
Describe pulmonary disease— Correct Answer: Acute, obstructive, chronic or
infectious/non-infectious
Pulmonary disease can be associated with other organs - True or False— Correct
Answer: True - the heart in particular
Signs and symptoms of pulmonary disease (8)— Correct Answer: -Dyspnea
-Cough
-Sputum
-Pain
-Cyanosis
-Clubbing
-Hemopysis
-Abnormal breathing patterns
Coughing up blood— Correct Answer: hemoptysis
What is kussmal respiration?— Correct Answer: increased respirations and tidal
volumes
,Alternating breathing patterns of deep and shallow breathing— Correct
Answer: cheyne-stokes
What is hypoxemia— Correct Answer: reduced oxygenation of arterial blood
What is hypoxia?— Correct Answer: deficiency in the amount of oxygen
reaching the tissues
What happens in respiratory failure?— Correct Answer: Defined as inadequate
gas exchange. Can result from injury to lungs, airway or chest wall or indirectly
from disease to other body systems
What is flail chest?— Correct Answer: Results from fractures of ribs, which allow
ribs to move independently during respiration
Clinical manifestations flail chest? (5)— Correct Answer: -Pain in chest
-Tenderness
-Difficulty breathing
-Bruising and inflammation
-Paradoxical movement when breathing
What is primary (spontaneous) pneumothorax?— Correct Answer: occurs when
a small air blister (bleb) on the top of the lung ruptures
What is secondary pneumothorax?— Correct Answer: Caused by disease,
trauma, injury, or condition
What causes iatrogenic pneumothorax?— Correct Answer: transthoracic
needle aspiration
,When is the difference between open and closed pneumothorax?— Correct
Answer: Open air pressure enters into pleural space during inspiration and exits
during expiration. Closed air does not escape pleural space during expiration
Presence of fluid in plural space— Correct Answer: pleural effusion
Collection of blood in the pleural space— Correct Answer: hemothorax
Presence of pus in the plural space— Correct Answer: Empyema
what is a restrictive lung disorder— Correct Answer: decrease compliance of
the lung tissue
What is the impact from restrictive lung disorders?— Correct Answer: Individuals
experience dyspnea, increased respiratory rate, and decreased tidal volume
Passage of fluid and solid particles into the lung— Correct Answer: Aspiration
Clinical manifestations of aspiration?— Correct Answer: -Sudden onset of
choking
-Intractable cough
-fever
-dyspnea
-Wheezing
Collapse of lung tissue— Correct Answer: atelectasis
What are the 3 types of atelectasis?— Correct Answer: - Compression
- Absorption
, - Surfactant
Clinical manifestations of atelectasis? (4)— Correct Answer: -Dyspnea
-Fever
-Cough
-Leukocytosis
persistant abnormal dilation of the bronchi— Correct Answer: Bronchiectasis
clinical manifestations include: chronic productive cough, a lot of foul smelling
sputum, hemoptysis and clubbing— Correct Answer: bronchiectasis
excessive amount of fibrous or connective tissue in the lungs— Correct Answer:
pulmonary fibrosis
Pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis— Correct Answer: caused by formation of
scar tissue after active pulmonary diseases, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, or
inhalation injuries - chronic inflammation leads to fibrosis and marked loss of lung
compliance
Can occur in otherwise healthy individuals in association with an upper or lower
respiratory tract infection— Correct Answer: bronchiolitis in adults
excess water in the lungs— Correct Answer: pulmonary edema
causes of pulmonary edema— Correct Answer: left sided heart disease or
capillary injury
clinical manifestations of pulmonary edema? (5)— Correct Answer: -Dyspnea
-Hypoxemia
