1.Which term should the nurse use to best describe the movement of air in and out of the patie
a. Ventilation
b. Diffusion
c. Respiration
d. Perfusion
ANS: A
The primary functions of the lungs include ventilation, the movement of air in and out of the lu
sion, the movement of gases between air spaces and the bloodstream. Respiration is the excha
and carbon dioxide during cellular metabolism. The heart supports perfusion, the movement o
out of the lungs to the organs and tissues of the body.
,OBJ: Describe the structure and function of the cardiopulmonary system.
TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: Client Needs: Physiological Integrity
2.The nurse is educating a patient who has recently been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pu
ease (COPD). The nurse explains how the gasses in the lungs move between the air spaces and
stream. Which process is the nurse describing?
a. Ventilation

d. Perfusion
ANS: B
Diffusion is the movement of gases between air spaces and the bloodstream. One of the prima
