NUR 360 Exam 1(70 Questions & Answers)
Latest and Graded A+
1. COPD - Correct answer An airflow limitation that is not fully reversible;
includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
2. Asthma - Correct answer Chronic inflammatory disease that affects only
the airways, not the alveoli; has a genetic compenent
3. Beta agonists - Correct answer Asthma inhalers for immediate rescue;
dilates airways
4. Status Asthmaticus - Correct answer Severe, life threatening acute episode
of airway obstruction that does not respond to normal therapy
5. Emphysema - Correct answer Irreversible alveolar disorder resulting in
loss of lung elasticity marked by increased need for oxygen and metabolic
nutrients
6. Emphysema - Correct answer "Pink puffers"
7. Chronic Bronchitis - Correct answer Irreversible airway disorder caused by
inflammation of the bronchi/bronchioles
8. which produces an inflammatory response
9. Chronic Bronchitis - Correct answer "Blue bloaters"
10. Small Cell - Correct answer Most malignant form of lung cancer, poor
prognosis; poor response to sugery

, 11. Non-Small Cell - Correct answer Lung cancer that's slower growing;
amendable to surgery if stage I or II
12. Adenocarcinoma - Correct answer Lung cancer that's slow growing, usual
type in non-smokers; surgery if early stage
13. Large Cell - Correct answer Lung cancer that's slow growing, poor Px;
surgery if early stage
14. Lobectomy - Correct answer Treatment of lung cancer that removes a lobe
of the lung; someone has small tumor, early on
15. Pneumonectomy - Correct answer Treatment of lung cancer that removes
an entire lung; for more aggressive cancers
16. Segmental Resection - Correct answer Treatment of lung cancer that
removes a section of lobe
17. Wedge Resection - Correct answer Treatment of lung cancer that removes
a small section for biopsy
18. Pleural Effusion - Correct answer A collection of fluid in the pleural space,
usually secondary to other diseases (ex. Systemic lupus), Slower process
(difference from hemothorax)
19. Transudate - Correct answer Plasma moving across capillary walls;
imbalance in hydrostatic pressures; HF or renal disease
20. Exudate - Correct answer Bacterial products or tumors
