MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who first popularized spirometry for the evaluation of pulmonary function?
a. August and Marie Krogh
b. Alvan Barach
c. John Severinghaus
d. John Hutchinson
Correct Answer: D
Hutchinson popularized the concept of using VC to assess lung function,
and the names he gave to several other lung compartments are still used
today.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 2 OBJ: None MSC: NBRC: None
2. Which of the following are indications for performing spirometry?
1. Assess the risk of lung resection.
2. Determine the response to bronchodilator therapy.
3. Assess the severity of restrictive lung disease.
4. Quantify the extent of COPD.
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 3
c. 1, 2, and 4
d. 2, 3, and 4
Correct Answer: C
Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction; for that you need to
measure lung volumes (see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).
, DIF: 1 REF: p. 7 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None
3. The main indication for the measurement of lung volumes is to do which of
the following?
a. Diagnose or assess the severity of restriction.
b. Evaluate the severity of pulmonary hypertension.
c. Determine the level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
d. Assess the risk of abdominal surgical procedures.
Correct Answer: A
The most common reason for measuring lung volumes is to identify
restrictive lung disease.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 35 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None
4. DLCO measurements may be indicated to evaluate pulmonary involvement
in which of the following systemic diseases?
a. Asthma
b. Sarcoidosis
c. Exertional hypoxemia
d. Guillain-Barré syndrome
Correct Answer: B Sarcoidosis is the only systemic
disease listed that affects gas exchange.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 9 | p. 19 | p. 21 | p. 35 OBJ: EL-2 MSC: NBRC: None
5. Blood gas analysis is used with patients with COPD to do which of the
following?
a. Monitor airway responsiveness.
b. Determine level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
c. Detect pulmonary hypertension.
d. Assess need for supplementary O2.
Correct Answer: D
, Blood gas analysis is most commonly used to determine the need for
supplemental oxygen and to manage patients who require ventilatory
support.

6.Which of the following cause emphysema?
1. 1-Antitrypsin deficiency
2. Exposure to environmental pollutants
3. Radiation therapy
4. Cigarette smoking
a. 1 and 2
b. 3 and 4
c. 1, 2, and 4
d. 2, 3, and 4
Correct Answer: C
Emphysema is caused primarily by cigarette smoking. Some emphysema is
caused by the absence of a protective enzyme. Chronic exposure to
environmental pollutants can also contribute to the development of
emphysema.
DIF: 1 REF: p. 11 OBJ: EL-3 | AL-2MSC: NBRC: None
7. An adult patient complains of chest tightness and cough whenever he jogs
in cold weather. These symptoms are consistent with which of the
following?
a. Cystic fibrosis
b. Asthma
c. Pulmonary hypertension
d. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Correct Answer: B
