A patient with normal lungs should be able to exhale ___ of the forced vital capacity
within the first second. - answer80%
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? - answer Decreased forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
Simple spirometry can be used to measure any of the following EXCEPT: - answer
Residual volume.
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: - answer Restrictive lung disease.

following conditions is most likely the patient's pulmonary issue? - answer Chronic
asthma.
Which of the following would indicate obstructive lung disease? - answerChronic
asthma.
Simple spirometry includes a measure of residual capacity. - answerFalse
Which of the following spirometry results indicate restrictive lung disease? -
answerFEV1, FVC, and total lung capacity reduced; FEV1/FVC ratio normal.
Chronic bronchitis will decrease which of the following parameters? - answerDecreased
forced expiratory flow (FEV1).
Which of the following is considered a late effect of emphysema? - answerHypoxemia
and Hypercapnia.
A patient with chronic bronchitis is most likely to experience: - answerRespiratory
acidosis due to inability to exhale CO2.
