experiencing?

would |the |nurse |expect |to |hear |over |healthy |lung |tissue?
A. |resonance
B. |orthopnea
C. |crackles
D. |tachypnea |- |ANSA. |resonance
A |clinical |manifestation |common |in |an |individual |with |chronic |obstructive |pulmonary |disease |
(COPD) |is:
A. |periodic |breathing |patterns
B. |pursed |lip |breathing
C. |unequal |chest |expansion
D. |hyperventilation |- |ANSB. |pursed |lip |breathing
An |individual |with |COPD |may |purse |the |lips |in |a |whistling |position. |By |exhaling |slowly |and |
against |a |narrow |opening, |the |pressure |in |the |bronchial |tree |remains |positive, |and |fewer |
airways |collapse.
Which |of |the |following |are |functions |of |the |respiratory |system? |(Select |all |that |apply)
A. |supplying |oxygen |to |the |body |for |energy |production
B. |removing |carbon |dioxide |as |a |waste |product
C. |wound |repair
, D. |maintaining |acid-base |balance
E. |maintenance |of |heat |exchange
F. |identification |- |ANSA. |supplying |oxygen |to |the |body |for |energy |production
B. |removing |carbon |dioxide |as |a |waste |product
D. |maintaining |acid-base |balance
E. |maintenance |of |heat |exchange
Stridor |is |a |high |pitched, |inspiratory |crowing |sound |commonly |associated |with:
A. |upper |airway |obstruction
B. |atelectasis
C. |congestive |heart |failure
D. |Pneumothorax |- |ANSA. |upper |airway |obstruction
Stridor |is |associated |with |upper |airway |obstruction |from |swollen, |inflamed |tissues |or |a |lodged
|foreign |body.
Which |of |the |following |correctly |expresses |the |relationship |to |the |lobes |of |the |lungs |and |their |
anatomic |position? |
A. |upper |lobes-lateral |chest
B. |upper |lobes-posterior |chest
C. |lower |lobes-posterior |chest
D. |lower |lobes |- |anterior |chest |- |ANSC. |lower |lobes |- |posterior |chest
The |posterior |chest |is |almost |all |lower |lobe
The |function |of |the |trachea |and |bronchi |is |to |
A. |transport |gases |between |the |environment |and |the |lung |parenchyma
