Which pulmonary defense mechanism propels a mucous blanket that entraps particles
moving toward the oropharynx? – answer Cilia
Stretch receptors and peripheral chemoreceptors send afferent impulses regarding
ventilation to which location in the brain? - answerDorsal respiratory group (DRG) in the
medulla oblongata
If a patient develops acidosis, the nurse would expect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation
curve to react in which manner? - answerShift to the right, causing more oxygen (O2) to
be released to the cells
How is most carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood transported? - answerIn the form of
bicarbonate
The sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscles are referred to as which group of
muscles? - answerDiaphragmatic muscles
What event is characteristic of the function in Zone 1 of lung? - answerThe capillary bed
collapses and normal blood flow ceases
Hypoventilation that results in the retention of carbon dioxide (CO2) will stimulate which
receptors in an attempt to maintain a normal homeostatic state? - answerCentral
chemoreceptors
Which pleural abnormality involves a site of pleural rupture that acts as a one-way
valve, permitting air to enter on inspiration but preventing its escape by closing during
expiration? - answerTension pneumothorax
In ARDS, alveoli and respiratory bronchioles fill with fluid as a result of which
mechanism? - answerInactivation of the surfactant and impairment of type II alveolar
cells
Which immunoglobin may contribute to the pathophysiologic characteristics of asthma?
- answerImmunoglobulin E (IgE)
Which statement about the late asthmatic response is true? - answerThe release of
toxic neuropeptides contributes to increased bronchial hyper-responsiveness
Clinical manifestations of inspiratory and expiratory wheezing, dyspnea, nonproductive
cough, and tachypnea are indicative of which condition? - answerAsthma
