CRT/RRT practice exam prep questions
and answers.
Vesicular breath sounds are auscultated with which of the following -
\Normal lungs
Transcutaneous monitoring (TMC) is being used with a newborn in the NICU. The
temperature at the sensor site is 37 deg C. Concurrent arterial blood gases indicate
significantly higher values for oxygen tension that those obtained by TMC to correct the
problem therapist should First. -
\Heat sensor site to a temperature of 44 deg C
While doing an exercise on the treadmill. A candidate undergoing stress testing for
cardiopulmonary rehabilitation suddenly develops premature ventricular contractions on
the ECG tracing. The respiratory therapist monitoring the procedure should recommend
which of the following. -
\Terminating the stress test
A patient has been diagnosed with vocal cord polyps. Which of the following pulmonary
function test would best evaluate the degree of impairment. -
\MEFV (Maximal Expiratory Flow- Volume)

Monitors for a patient in the intensive care unit indicate a heart rate of 102/min, RR of
22/min, BP of 134/86. Laboratory test shows a serum glucose of 210 mEq/L and BUN of
12 mg/dL. Arterial blood gas results are as follows: pH 7.26, PaCO2 27, PaO3 94
HCO3- 12 mEq/L. Based on this data the most appropriate clinical response would be
which of the following -
\Administration of insulin

shows variations from actual for the middle range of test measurements. These results
suggest a problem with -
\Linearity
