RES 140 Exam 2 Lung Expansion
UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Postop patient has Incentive Spirometer order. Her vital capacity is 6ml/kg. You would
recommend: - CORRECT ANSWER AccuPap/EZpap
Atelectasis may occur in patients that suffer from malnutrition. - CORRECT
ANSWER True
During IPPB, by increasing the flow rate: - CORRECT ANSWER Decreases
inspiratory time - pressure reached faster
Which of the following terminology provides PEEP for the spontaneously breathing patient?
- CORRECT ANSWER CPAP
One of the goals of non-invasive ventilation in the acute care setting is to: - CORRECT
ANSWER avoid intubation
What is not true of simple PEP therapy (eg. TheaPEP, Little Puffer)? - CORRECT
ANSWER It requires an external pressurized gas source
During IPPB or EzPAP, after cough, the patient complains of sudden chest pain and dyspnea.
The most likely cause is: - CORRECT ANSWER pneumothorax
If IPAP is 20 and EPAP is 6, what is delta P (pressure support)? - CORRECT
ANSWER 14 cmH2O
All of the following are consistent clinical findings of atelectasis except: - CORRECT
ANSWER decreased respiratory rate
, Your patient is on CPAP. Increasing CPAP level will do which of the following: - CORRECT
ANSWER increase FRC
When on BiPAP, tidal volume is most directly controlled by the: - CORRECT
ANSWER pressure support (delta P)
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (BiPAP)by mask would benefit: - CORRECT
ANSWER a COPD patient with pneumonia and respiratory failure
During IS the patient complains of dizziness. Possible causes include - CORRECT
ANSWER increased tidal volume and not resting between breaths
IPPB can be hazardous to patients whose chart indicates pneumothorax, elevated ICP and
uncorrected hypotension. - CORRECT ANSWER True
Incentive spirometry would be most appropriate for the patient with: - CORRECT
ANSWER atelectasis
To provide BiPAP with a back up rate which of the following must I choose? - CORRECT
ANSWER spontaneous/timed (S/T)
Which of the following would be most improved with CPAP? - CORRECT
ANSWER PaO2
During BiPAP, patient PaCO2 elevates and pH drops below normal. What should the RT
recommend? - CORRECT ANSWER increase the pressure support
If the EZPAP flowmeter is set at 10 lpm, what is the total flow due to the patient due to the
coanda effect? - CORRECT ANSWER 40 lpm
IPPB devices cycle to end inspiration when: - CORRECT ANSWER a preset pressure
is reached
