QUESTIONS 2026 ALREADY PASSED
GRADED A+.
◍ What should be monitored in clients on ventilators? Answer:Ensure
ventilator synchrony, follow sedation protocols, and monitor for VAP
and barotrauma.
◍ What should be monitored if chest tubes are in place?
Answer:Monitor drainage, air leaks, and the dressing site.
◍ What focused assessments should be performed in ARDS
management? Answer:Monitor breath sounds, ABGs, SpO₂, and work
of breathing regularly.
◍ What complications should be recognized and intervened upon in
ARDS? Answer:Watch for signs of barotrauma, VAP, oxygen toxicity,
and ventilator dyssynchrony.
◍ What trends and changes should be recognized in ARDS patients?
Answer:Trend ABG deterioration, escalating oxygen needs, or
decreased lung compliance.
◍ What is a hallmark of refractory hypoxemia? Answer:Oxygen does
not help.
,◍ What are some injury/complication prevention strategies in ARDS
management? Answer:Use sterile suction technique, maintain HOB
elevation, and apply infection precautions.
◍ What should be assessed for referrals in chest tube management?
Answer:Consult provider for placement and collaborate with
respiratory therapy as needed.
◍ How should client response to medication be evaluated in chest
tube management? Answer:Monitor pain control, evaluate reduced
dyspnea, and check re-expansion on imaging.
◍ What indicates treatment effectiveness in chest tube management?
Answer:Assess lung re-expansion and drainage output.
◍ How do pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion disrupt
lung inflation? Answer:They create pressure imbalances that hinder
lung expansion.
◍ How should impaired ventilation/oxygenation be managed with
chest tubes? Answer:Ensure chest drainage supports lung re-
expansion and improves oxygenation.
◍ What should be monitored in ventilated patients with chest
drainage? Answer:Monitor interaction with chest drainage and
pressures.
, ◍ What maintenance is required for chest tube devices?
Answer:Ensure the tube is patent, suction settings are correct, and
there are no kinks or dislodgement.
◍ What drainage volume indicates a need to notify the provider?
Answer:If drainage is greater than 150 mL/hour.
◍ What focused assessments should be performed with chest tubes?
Answer:Auscultate breath sounds, palpate for subcutaneous
emphysema, and assess the tube site.
◍ What complications should be recognized in chest tube
management? Answer:Tension pneumothorax, infection, and tube
displacement.
◍ What trends and changes should be noted in chest tube
management? Answer:Changes in drainage volume or character or
increased respiratory distress.
◍ What are the injury/complication prevention strategies for chest
tubes? Answer:Use proper PPE, clamp tubing only if ordered, and
reinforce dressing protocol.
◍ What is the pathophysiology of bacterial pneumonia?
Answer:Bacterial pneumonia causes localized inflammation in the
