Answer:
False
,Question:
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:
a. Obstructive lung disease.
b. Combined obstructive-restrictive lung disease.
c. Restrictive lung disease.
d. The test is invalid.
Answer:
Restrictive lung disease.
Question:

a. Decreased total lung capacity.
b. Decreased forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
c. Increased lung compliance.
d. Decreased diffusing capacity.
Answer:
Decreased forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
,Question:
Which of the following would indicate obstructive lung disease?
a. Chronic asthma.
b. Pneumonia.
c. Pulmonary fibrosis.
d. Pulmonary hypertension.
Answer:

Question:
Which of the following spirometry results indicate restrictive lung disease?
a. FEV1, FEV, and total lung capacity normal: FEV1/FVC ratio normal.
b. FEV1 reduced, FVC normal, total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio
normal.
c. FEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio normal.
d. FEV1, FEV, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio reduced.
Answer:
FEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio normal.

d. Pulmonary fibrosis.
Answer:
Pulmonary fibrosis.
Question:
