the shape of the _____________________ increases susceptibility of aspiration into the
right middle and right lower lobes - CORRECT ANSWER-right bronchus
conditions leading to O2 affinity for hemoglobin while decreasing O2 saturation -
CORRECT ANSWER-fever, acidosis and hypoxia
due to decreased perfusion, a decreased V-Q ratio increases risk for? - CORRECT
ANSWER-blood clot
when oxygen is lower than 60 mmHg with normal arterial PaCO2 - CORRECT
ANSWER-hypoxemic respiratory failure
tools that should be available at all times in a patient with epiglottitis - CORRECT
ANSWER-laryngoscope and tracheostomy equipment
priority nursing assessment r/t epiglottitis - CORRECT ANSWER-check airway patency
most common bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia - CORRECT
ANSWER-streptococcus pnemoniae
alveolar air spaces filled with purulent, inflammatory cells and fibrin; cough, fever, chills,
pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, hemoptysis, activity intolerance - CORRECT ANSWER-
s/s pneumonia
-contact w/ infected person
-healthcare worker
-nursing home residents - CORRECT ANSWER-high risk TB populations

vasoconstriction and having the kidney release erythropoietin - CORRECT ANSWER-
chronic hypoxia
when the lungs can not fully expel CO2 - CORRECT ANSWER-chronic hypercapnia
