N1213 Midterm 1 Terms
hypoxemia Correct Answer-decreased level of oxygen in the blood
hypoxia Correct Answer-decreased oxygen to specific tissues
orthopnea Correct Answer-difficulty breathing when lying down
bone and muscle percussion sounds like... Correct Answer-flat
soft intensity
organ percussion sounds like... Correct Answer-dull
medium intensity
normal lung/hollow structures percussion sounds like... Correct Answer-
resonance
long low pitch
Emphysema Correct Answer-large air spaces in lungs ... causes SOB
(may develop this)
Pneumothorax Correct Answer-collapsed lung- trapped air between lung
and chest wall
trapped air sounds like... Correct Answer-hyper resonance
, stomach / gastric air bubble sounds like ... Correct Answer-tympany
during inspiration whats happening to the diaphragm and ribs Correct
Answer-diagram goes down (contracts)
ribs go out
more volume = decreased pressure
air comes in
during expiration whats happening to the diaphragm and ribs Correct
Answer-diaphragm relaxes
less volume=more pressure
air goes out
diaphragmatic excursion Correct Answer-distance that the diaphragm
moves with inhalation
when auscultating the lungs what should u note Correct Answer-pitch
intensity (loudness)
duration (I vs E)
different spots to listen for lungs? how it sounds? I/E at the location?
Correct Answer-vesicular (normal lung tissue); low; I
