When educating a college student who lives in a crowded apartment and was recently diagnosed
with tuberculosis, the school nurse will emphasize which treatment plan?
-"Once your fever goes away you can stop taking the streptomycin injection."
-"If isoniazid makes you nauseous, we can substitute something milder."
-"To destroy this bacterium, you must strictly adhere to a long-term drug regimen of several
medications."
-"You will have to wear a N95 mask while on campus at all times."
-“To destroy this bacterium, you must strictly adhere to a long-term drug regimen of several
medications.”
A patient is diagnosed with right-sided heart failure. The nurse knows that a frequent sign of this
type of failure is peripheral edema, evidenced by which of the following?
-Weight gain
-Copious urination
-Shortness of breath
-Decreased blood pressure
-Weight gain

The pulmonary rehabilitation specialist is educating medical students on a respiratory disease
process that causes a severe compromise in exhalation due to air trapping. Air trapping is caused
by the loss of elastic recoil, especially in the alveoli, which occurs after overstretching in which of
the following diseases?
-Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-Asthma
-Emphysema
-Chronic bronchitis
-Emphysema
Factors Affecting Alveolar-Capillary Gas Exchange
(4)
-Surface area available for diffusion
-Thickness of the alveolar-capacity membrane
-Partial pressure of alveolar gases
-Solubility and molecular weight of the gas
The nurse is caring for an infant with a large ventricular septal defect, also called a hole in the
heart, which is a congenital heart defect causing a right to left shunt. The nurse illustrates for the
parents how this compromises their child’s ability to deliver oxygenated blood to the tissues
causing
-cyanosis secondary to an anatomic shunt.
-jaundice related to an anatomic shunt.
-a physiologic shunt and chest pain.
-a physiologic shunt and pallor.
-cyanosis secondary to an anatomic shunt.

A distressed, confused client is admitted to the hospital ER with a penetrating right chest stab
wound. The nurse assesses the patient and notes a lack of breath sounds in the right lung due.
The nurse knows this is likely the result of:
-hyperinflation of the lung.
-decreased intraalveolar pressure.
-loss of intrapleural pressure.
-negative intrapleural pressure.
-loss of intrapleural pressure.
Which of the following neurological patient's is most likely to have abnormalities in breathing
regulation?
-A 23-year-old male who has an injury to his frontal lobe following a sports injury
-A 45-year-old female with a spinal cord injury at C7 following a motor vehicle accident
-A 34-year-old male with damage to his upper and lower pons following a blow to the back of the
head.
-A 66-year-old male with temporal lobe infarcts secondary to a stroke.
-A 34-year-old male with damage to his upper and lower pons following a blow to the back of the
head.
The nurse caring for a client with bilateral rib fractures explains to the client that the pain causes
him to take more shallow respirations which will contribute to feeling SOB due to a
-Decreased tidal volume.
-Increased vital capacity.
-Decreased residual volume.
-Increased total lung capacity.

-Decreased tidal volume.
A nurse is instructing a class for people with newly diagnosed asthma to encourage healthy life
style choices. The nurse explains that stimulation of certain lung receptors with things such as
smoke, cigarette smoke, inhaled dust, or cold air can lead to constriction of the conducting
airways resulting in rapid, shallow breathing. How does the nurse identify these receptors?
-J receptors
-Noxious receptors
-Stretch receptors
-Irritant receptors
-Irritant receptors
A patient's oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is represented by a shift to the right. The nurse
recognizes this as:
-The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased.
-That the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is increased.
-It occurs in situations associated with a decrease in tissue metabolism.
-PO2 available to the tissues at any given level of hemoglobin saturation is decreased.
-The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased.
A shift to the right indicates that the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased and the PO2
that is available to the tissues at any given level of hemoglobin saturation is increased. A shift to
the left indicates that the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is increased and the PO2 that is
available to the tissues at any given level of hemoglobin saturation is decreased. It occurs in
situations associated with a decrease in tissue metabolism, such as alkalosis, decreased body
temperature, and decreased PCO2 levels.
A patient is admitted with pneumoconiosis. His history most likely reveals which of the
following?
