A+
Abnormalities of the pleura - correct answer-
Pneumothorax, Plueral effusion, Empyema, Pleruisy
Acidosis - correct answer- arterial blood pH < 7.4
Acinus - correct answer- Bronchioles, Alveolar ducts,
Alveoli
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - correct
answer- acute inflammation of the lung and alveolar
capillary injury with pulmonary edema
Acute respiratory failure - correct answer- inadequate
gas exchange (PO2 less than 50, PCO2 greater than 50, pH less
