EDAPT: PULMONARY DISORDERS
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The NP is seeing a patient with chronic bronchitis that needs spirometry on today's visit.
What pulmonary function test (PFT) findings are anticipated based on the diagnosis of
chronic bronchitis? -ANS----Decreased forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
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: -ANS----Restrictive lung disease.
Simple spirometry can be used to measure any of the following -ANSTidal volume.Vital
capacity.Inspiratory reserve volume.
A patient with normal lungs should be able to ____________ of the forced vital capacity
within the first second. -ANSexhale 80%
The NP notes that a patient's FEV1/FVC ratio is severely reduced. Which of the
following conditions is most likely the patient's pulmonary issue? -ANSchronic asthma
Simple spirometry includes a measure of residual capacity. -ANSfalse
Which of the following spirometry results indicate restrictive lung disease? -ANS----
FEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio normal.
Which of the following would indicate obstructive lung disease? -ANSchronic asthma
The NP notes that a patient's FEV1/FVC ratio is normal. Which of the following
conditions is most likely the patient's pulmonary issue? -ANSpulmonary fibrosis
Chronic bronchitis will decrease which of the following parameters? -ANS----Decreased
forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
The effects of an Alpha-antitrypsin 1 deficiency is: -ANS----Inability to block the effects
of proteolysis.
Which of the following pulmonary function test results are expected in a patient with
chronic bronchitis? -ANS----Decreased FEV1/FVC ratio.
The number one cause of chronic bronchitis is -ANScigarette smoking
Which of the following is considered a late effect of emphysema? -ANS----Hypoxemia
and Hypercapnia.
