Advanced Pathophysiology Midterm

Advanced Pathophysiology Midterm



1. The NP notes that a patient's FEV1/FVC ratio is se

verely reduced. Which of the following conditions is

most likely the patient's pulmonary issue?

chronic asthma




2. The NP reviews the results of a patient's pulmonary

function tests and notes that the FEV1, FVC, and total

lung capacity (TLC) are reduced. The FEV1/FVC ratio

is normal. Based on interpretation, this reflects:

restrictive lung dis

ease




3. Simple spirometry can be used to measure any of the

following EXCEPT:

residual volume




4. Which of the following spirometry results indicate re

strictive lung disease?

FEV1, FVC, and

total lung ca

, pacity reduced;

FEV1/FVC ratio

normal.




5. Which of the following would indicate obstructive

lung disease?

chronic asthma




6. Chronic bronchitis will decrease which of the follow

ing parameters?

decreased forced

expiratory flow

(FEV1)




7. The NP notes that a patient's FEV1/FVC ratio is nor

mal. Which of the following conditions is most likely

the patient's pulmonary issue?

pulmonary fibrosis




8. Simple spirometry includes a measure of residual ca

pacity.
