A 65 kg spinal cord injured patient has developed atelectasis. His inspiratory
capacity is 30% of his predicted value. What bronchial hygiene therapy would be
most appropriate initially?
A. IS / SMI
B. IPPB with normal saline
C. postural drainage and percussion
D. PEP therapy

observes increasing respiratory distress with intercostal retractions and marked
stridor. The SpO2 on 40% oxygen is noted to be 86%. Which of the following
would be most appropriate at this time?

A patient who complains of dyspnea is noted to have a dry, non-productive
cough. On physical examination, breath sounds are diminished on the right,
tactile fremitus is decreased and there is dullness to percussion over the right
lower lobe. The respiratory therapist should suspect that the patient is suffering
from
A. pneumonia.
