NURS 210 - RESPIRATORY (CHEST AND LUNGS)
QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
"humpback" abnormal curvature at upper spine correct answer kyphosis
•has to do with the heart and lung issue- right side of the heart is enlarged b/c
there's a lung issue so It's pushing blood back into the right ventricle correct
answer cor pulmonale
a serious infection that causes inflammation and fluid buildup in your lungs
correct answer pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
abnormal curvature of the lower back; curved towards anterior part of the body
correct answer lordosis
affects emphysema, asthma, cystic fibrosis (excess accumulation of fluid), COPD
correct answer barrel chest
air caught in the skin correct answer crepitus
air or gas in pleural cavity; see in traumas correct answer pneumothorax
air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged; causes shortness of breath; common in
smokers; dilated non-functioning alveoli correct answer emphysema
are heard on trachea or manubrium area (they are high pitched) correct answer
bronchial/tracheal
, blood in the lung tissue from trauma correct answer hemothorax
bronchitis or emphysema and it is chronic; they will have split breathing and
cause excess pressure correct answer COPD
can attack lungs and turn into pneumonia correct answer influenza
chest comes outward almost to a point "pigeon chest" correct answer pectus
carinatum
crackles correct answer heard on inspiration, discontinuous, and not cleared by a
cough
diaphragm sits higher on the right side b/c correct answer liver
encapsulated in the lungs; droplet submission correct answer TB
equipment for assessing respiratory correct answer marking pencil
centimeter ruler
stethoscope
excess air within the lungs, or increased thickness of the chest wall, may lead to a
correct answer decreased intensity of tactile fremitus.
