, ANS: B

Pectus excuvatum is a common congenital deformity of the anterior wall of the chest,
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 in which several ribs and the sternum grow abnormally; it produces a caved-in or
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 sunken appearance of the chest.

h1 lower rib fractures?

A. Short, shallow breaths h1 h1




B. Pursed lip breathing h1 h1




C. Deep breaths with splinting
h1 h1 h1




D. Breathing with arms raised h1 h1 h1

5. Which of the following positions facilitates greater excursion of both hemidiaphragms at
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1


rest?
h1




A. Supine position h1




B. Sidelying position h1




C. Standing position h1




D. Sitting position h1




ANS: A

In the supine position, without the effects of gravity, the level of the diaphragm in the
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




h1 thoracic cavity rises. This allows for a relatively greater excursion.
