with their hands on their knees, the nurse sees the clients neck muscles move during inspiration
6. Which breath sounds corresponds to air moving through smaller airways and are heard over the peripheral
lung?: Vesicular
7. What is true about vesicular breath sounds? Select all that apply: They are light and feathery breath sounds,
inhalation is longer than expiration
8. Which adventitious breath sound is described as a high pitch sound indicating that air is passing through
constricted airways: Wheezing
9. Which percussive sound is described as a short, flat, low-pitched sound?: dullness
,10. The student nurse is percussing a client's chest. Which student nurse action causes the nurse instructor to
intervene: The nurse places the palm of their hand on the clients chest
11. What does a positive Schamroth's sign indicate: clubbing
12. In a healthy client, which sound should the nurse expect to hear when percussing a client's ches: Resonance
13. What is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the bronchial tubes: asthma
14. How many Americans are affected by asthma: Over 26 million
15. Which conditions are types of asthma? Select all that apply: occupational, allergic, adult onset, exercise induced
bronchoconstriction,
16. What are the signs and symptoms of asthma? Select all that apply: persistent cough, especially at night with
exercise and laughing, wheezing with breathing
(especially on exhale), shortness of breath, bronchospasm
17. Which class of medications provides quick relief and is taken at the first onset of signs and symptoms of an
asthma attack: bronchodilators
18. Short-acting inhaled beta 2 agonists (SABA) cause bronchodilation by acting on receptors that are also
activated by which of the following: epinephrine, and norepinephrine
19. What are long acting inhaled beta 2 agonist (LABA) medication usually combined with?: steroids
20. What are the most effective medications for long-term control of persistent asthma?: inhaled corticosteroids
21. Which medications are taken at the first sign of respiratory symptoms in asthma patients for immediate
relief? Select all that apply: albuterol, anticholinergics, beta adrenergics
22. What activates cholinergic receptors: acetylcholine
23. Which functions do muscarinic receptors control in healthy lungs? Select all that apply: vasodilation, smooth
muscle tone, mucus secretion, inflammation 24. Which medical conditions benefit from an anticholinergic
, bronchodilator by blocking the muscarinic receptors and reducing the amount of mucus produced? Select all
that apply: Ashtma, COPD

inhaled corticosteroids, cromolyn sodium, antileukotrienes
26. When is it advised to take an inhaled corticosteroid: Regularly every day 27. Why are long-acting beta 2
antagonists (LABA) prescribed with another asthma-related drug such as a short-acting beta 2 agonist (SABA) or
anticholinergic: Because a LABA is not a rescue inhaler
28. Treating asthma effectively requires medications to handle which of the following physiological conditions?
Select all that apply: inflammation, bronchoconstriction, excess mucus production
29. Which topics should be included when educating clients about managing their asthma at home? Select all
that apply: know appropriate medications, know environmental triggers that cause worsening of symptoms, self monitor
peak expiratory flow rates to adjust and control therapy safely.
30. What is an effective handheld device used to monitor breathing at home by breathing exhaled air into it?:
Peak exploratory flow rate (PEFR)
31. Which statement indicates to the nurse that a client understands how to effectively monitor their asthma:
"I use my long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) medications daily and use short-acting beta-agonists (SABA) during the
onset of an asthma attack. I avoid my sister's cat because I know it is a trigger for me 32. What are the key elements of
an asthma action plan? Select all that apply: Having a list of possible asthma triggers
Knowing early symptoms of flare-ups
Understanding when to get to emergency care
Knowing when and which medications to take
33. Why are asthma action plans developed between clients and the health care team? Select all that apply: To
consider each individual client's situation
To reduce the severity and occurrence of attacks
