ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026
The anatomy of respiration - CORRECT ANSWER-
Nursing and collaborative management: planning: - CORRECT ANSWER-
overall goals within baseline
-breath sounds
-no dyspnea/abnormal breathing patterns
-efective cough/ability to clear secretions
-nasotracheal suctioning
-ABG value
Effective cough and ability to clear secretions - CORRECT ANSWER-a
cough is usually a reflexive response to irritation in the airways
*no matter origin, is most often an indication that the lungs or airways are
being subjected to some form of irritation
-presence of sputum? color, amount
Sputum mechanism? - CORRECT ANSWER-protective feature of the
airways
, Nursing and collaborative management: prevention - CORRECT
ANSWER--thorough history and physical assessment to identify at-risk
patients
-early recognition of respiratory distress
Who are at risk patients/what are devices to help with this? - CORRECT
ANSWER-those with atelectasis/use of a incentive spirometer
incentive spirometer - CORRECT ANSWER-a device used to force the
client to concentrate on inspiration and promote full inflation of the lungs,
while providing immediate feedback; used particularly after surgery and in
lung disorders.
atelectasis - CORRECT ANSWER-Collapsed alveoli
-reduces the amount of space available for gas exchange
The patient is to use an incentive spirometer every 2 hours to prevent
atelectasis (partial or complete collapse of the lung). The patient should:
A. Breathe out forcefully and deeply
B. Breathe in fast and deeply
C.Take slow, long, deep breaths
D. Breathe out slowly and deeply - CORRECT ANSWER-D
FIO2 - CORRECT ANSWER-fraction of inspired O2 (oxygen content of
inspired air-21% of room air is O2)
Flow meter - CORRECT ANSWER-
