Quantify the extent of COPD. a. 1 and 4 b. 2 and 3 c. 1, 2, and 4 d. 2, 3, and 4 ANS: C Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction; for that you need to measure lung volumes (see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).

Pulmonary hypertension d. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ANS: B Agents or events that cause an asthmatic episode are called triggers (see Box 1-7, Chapter 1).

DIF: 1 REF: p. 19 | p. 21 OBJ: EL-3 MSC: NBRC: None 10. For which of the following conditions might pulmonary function testing be contraindicated? a. Vocal cord dysfunction b. Untreated pneumothorax c. Congestive heart failure (CHF) d. Bronchiolitis obliterans ANS: B Pulmonary function tests are usually contraindicated in the presence of pneumothorax.

Which of the following correctly describe(s) appropriate physical measurements before pulmonary function testing? 1. Actual body weight should be used to calculate predicted values. 2. Standing height should be measured when the patient is barefoot. 3. Arm span should be used instead of height for a patient with kyphosis. 4. Age should be recorded to the nearest decade (10 years). a. 1 only b. 2 and 3 c. 1, 2, and 4 d. 1, 2, 3, and 4 ANS: B Various physical measurements are required for estimating each patient’s expected level of pulmonary function. Age to the nearest month, height to the nearest 0.1 cm, and weight are usually recorded in addition to the patient’s gender. Race or ethnic origin should also be recorded.
