Chapter 1. Early History Of Respiratory Care
Multiple Choice
1. Who is considered the "father" of modern respiratory care?
A) john s. Smeltzer
B) peter safar
C) thomas edison
D) joseph priestley
Correct answer: b)
Peter safar is widely recognized as the "father" of modern respiratory care for his pioneering work in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) and the development of the airway management techniques.
Rationale for other choices:
A) john s. Smeltzer was important in the development of clinical respiratory care but is not called the
"father" of the field.
C) thomas edison was an inventor, not involved in respiratory care.
D) joseph priestley discovered oxygen but was not involved in respiratory care directly.
Difficulty: recall reference: p. 5
Obj: 1
2. In what year was the first portable oxygen tank developed?
A) 1910
B) 1920
C) 1930
D) 1940
Correct answer: b)
The first portable oxygen tank was developed in the 1920s, allowing better mobility for patients
requiring supplemental oxygen.
Rationale for other choices:
A) the year 1910 does not correspond to the development of portable oxygen tanks.
C) the 1930s saw developments in other aspects of respiratory care but not the first portable tank.
D) the 1940s did not witness the first portable tank either.
