alveoli
bronchi
trachea
nose

medulla
atmosphere
, ventilation - CORRECT ANSWER - the process of inhaling oxygen into the lungs and exhaling
carbon dioxide from the lungs
impaired ventilation caused by - CORRECT ANSWER - rib fracture
muscle weakness
c-spine injury
asthma
chronic bronchitis
cystic fibrosis
pulmonary edema
acute respiratory distress syndrome
pneumonia
transport - CORRECT ANSWER - the availability of hemoglobin and its ability to carry oxygen
from alveoli to cells for metabolism and to carry carbon dioxide produced by cellular metabolism from
cells to alveoli to be eliminated.
Altered transport of oxygen - CORRECT ANSWER - occurs when insufficient number or quality
of erythrocytes is available to carry oxygen or when the amount of hemoglobin in the blood is low.
perfusion - CORRECT ANSWER - the ability of blood to transport oxygen containing hemoglobin
to cells and return carbon dioxide containing hemoglobin to the alveoli
consequences of poor gas exchange - CORRECT ANSWER - fatigue
increased heart rate and respiratory rate
populations at risk for poor gas exchange - CORRECT ANSWER - infants
young children
older adults
Assessment for gas exchange - CORRECT ANSWER - breathing quiet and effortless
