products of inflammation) in a patient with pneumonia.

Review Questions
If the results of Tina’s pulse oximetry had been 97%, which of the following would have
Self-Reflection been true?
Correct: Pulse oximetry measures the percent of hemoglobin molecules that are filled with oxygen. Oxygen-
saturated hemoglobin absorbs light wavelengths differently than unsaturated hemoglobin. The oximeter emits a
light and reads the extent of wavelength absorption.
Partial pressure O2 = 97%
Unbound oxygen level = 97%
PaO2 = 97%
Arterial hemoglobin saturation = 97% (Correct Response)
Suppose that, during your lung exam on Tina, you had heard bronchial breath sounds in
the left lower lung posteriorly. What would you have suspected based on this finding?
Correct: Increased breath sounds are indicative of lung consolidation (fluid-filled alveoli) or pleural effusion
(fluid accumulation in the pleural space) because fluid transmits sounds better than air. This finding is usually
accompanied by abnormal transmitted voice sounds and increased tactile fremitus.
Normal lung exam
Atelectasis
Fluid filled region of the lung (Correct Response)
