1. Describe the structures of the right and left lung. Right Lung: 3 lobes (su-
perior, middle, inferior),
shorter and wider,
Left Lung: 2 Lobes (supe-
rior, inferior) cardiac notch
2. Follow the path of air from inhalation through exhala- 1.)Nose
tion. 2.)Pharynx
3.)Larynx
4.)Trachea
5.)Bronchus
6.)Bronchioles
7.)Alveoli
3. Describe what happens at the level of the alveoli. Why In the walls of the alveoli
is this important? there are tiny blood ves-
sels called capillaries. Oxy-
gen goes into the cap-
illaries (to oxygenate or-
gans) while Co2 comes out
of them into the alveoli to
get exhaled through the
lungs.
4. Define eupnea normal breathing
5. Define tachypnea rapid breathing
6. Define bradypnea slow breathing
7. Define apnea absence of breathing
,8. Define dyspnea
, diflcult or labored breath-
ing
9. Define Orthopnea shortness of breath when
lying flat
10. Define hyperventilation excessive rate and depth
of breathing
11. Define hypoventilation shallow, slow breathing
12. Describe 1 way you could obtain a respiratory rate on 1.) Counting their respira-

13. Your patient is a 90 year old bedridden patient with -being bedridden
advanced Alzheimer's disease residing in a nursing -age
home. She is on a continuous tube feeding through a -nursing home
PEG tube (stomach tube). What are the patients risk -continuous PEG tube
factors for an alteration in oxygenation? -alzheimers
14. Your patient is a 90 year old bedridden patient with -turn her every 2 hours
advanced Alzheimer's disease residing in a nursing -promote exercise (ROM)
home. She is on a continuous tube feeding through a -pulse ox & respiratory
PEG tube (stomach tube). What interventions will the rate
nurse do to prevent an alteration in oxygen? -correct positioning
-HOB @ 30 degrees
-check VS & lung sounds
-immunizations (patient
AND nurse)
-handwashing
