What is the primary treatment and management approach for Chronic Bronchitis? A. Anticoagulation therapy B. Pulmonary hygiene therapy C. Radiation therapy D. Dialysis Correct Answer: B. Pulmonary hygiene therapy Rationale: Chronic bronchitis management focuses on clearing secretions and improving ventilation. Pulmonary hygiene helps mobilize mucus and improve airway clearance. 2. Which of the following is NOT part of chronic bronchitis management? A. Oxygen therapy B. Smoking cessation C. Antibiotics for infection D. Chemotherapy Correct Answer: D. Chemotherapy Rationale: Chemotherapy is not used in chronic bronchitis. Treatment includes oxygen, antibiotics, bronchodilators, and risk reduction. 3. Which medications are commonly used as aerosolized therapy in chronic bronchitis? A. Only antibiotics B. Short-acting beta-2 agonists only C. Beta-2 agonists, anticholinergics, corticosteroids D. Antihypertensives Correct Answer: C Rationale: Aerosolized therapy includes bronchodilators (SABA/LABA), anticholinergics, and inhaled corticosteroids. 4. Bronchiectasis is best defined as: A. Temporary airway inflammation B. Permanent dilation and distortion of bronchi C. Collapse of alveoli D. Lung infection only Correct Answer: B Rationale: Bronchiectasis involves irreversible dilation and destruction of bronchial walls due to chronic inflammation. 5. A classic sputum finding in bronchiectasis is: A. Clear watery sputum B. Three-layer foul-smelling sputum C. No sputum production D. Blood-only sputum Correct Answer: B Rationale: Bronchiectasis often produces purulent, foul-smelling, and layered sputum. 6. CT scan findings in bronchiectasis often show: A. Butterfly pattern B. Tree-in-bud pattern C. Honeycomb skull pattern D. Normal lungs Correct Answer: B Rationale: Tree-in-bud appearance indicates mucus-filled dilated bronchi. 7. Mild to moderate bronchiectasis ABG shows: A. Normal oxygen levels B. Hyperventilation with hypoxemia C. Severe acidosis only D. Respiratory alkalosis without hypoxemia Correct Answer: B Rationale: Early disease causes hypoxemia with compensatory hyperventilation. 8. Severe bronchiectasis ABG shows: A. Metabolic alkalosis B. Chronic ventilatory failure with hypoxemia C. Normal ABG D. Pure respiratory alkalosis Correct Answer: B Rationale: Advanced disease leads to ventilatory failure and persistent hypoxemia. 9. Primary treatment of bronchiectasis includes: A. Surgery only B. Pulmonary hygiene and antibiotics C. Radiation D. No treatment needed Correct Answer: B Rationale: Airway clearance and infection control are main treatments. 10. Which aerosol medications are used in bronchiectasis? A. Antivirals only B. Beta agonists, anticholinergics, inhaled steroids C. Opioids D. Diuretics Correct Answer: B Rationale: Same airway-opening medications are used as in other obstructive diseases. PART 2: Sleep Apnea (MCQs) 11. Sleep apnea is defined as: A. Breathing difficulty during exercise B. Cessation of breathing ≥10 seconds during sleep C. Chronic cough D. Lung infection Correct Answer: B Rationale: Apnea is a pause in breathing lasting 10 seconds or more during sleep. 12. Central sleep apnea is caused by: A. Airway obstruction B. Brain failure to send respiratory signals C. Lung collapse D. Infection Correct Answer: B Rationale: Central sleep apnea is neurological in origin. 13. Obstructive sleep apnea is caused by: A. Brain failure B. Upper airway obstruction despite effort C. Lung fibrosis D. Heart failure only Correct Answer: B Rationale: There is continued respiratory effort but blocked airflow. 14. Diagnostic test for sleep apnea is: A. Chest X-ray B. ECG C. Polysomnography D. CBC Correct Answer: C Rationale: Sleep study is the gold standard. 15. Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea includes: A. Chemotherapy B. CPAP therapy C. Dialysis D. Anticoagulants Correct Answer: B Rationale: CPAP keeps the airway open during sleep. PART 3: Asthma (MCQs) 16. Asthma is best described as: A. Infectious lung disease B. Chronic reversible inflammatory airway disease C. Cancer D. Fibrosis Correct Answer: B Rationale: Asthma is reversible airway obstruction with inflammation. 17. Asthma severity is classified using: A. Blood pressure B. FEV1 C. Heart rate D. Temperature Correct Answer: B Rationale: FEV1 is used to determine severity. 18. FEV1 60% indicates: A. Mild asthma B. Moderate asthma C. Severe asthma D. No asthma Correct Answer: C Rationale: Lower FEV1 = more severe obstruction. 19. First-line rescue medication for asthma is: A. Steroids B. Short-acting beta-2 agonists C. Antibiotics D. Diuretics Correct Answer: B Rationale: SABA provides quick bronchodilation. 20. A sign of status asthmaticus ABG is: A. Normal oxygen B. Hypercarbia with hypoxemia C. Metabolic alkalosis D. Normal CO2 Correct Answer: B Rationale: Severe asthma leads to CO2 retention.
