The physical method used to measure aerosol particle size distribution using
multiple steps is:
Cascade Impaction
An aerosol is best defined as
a suspension of a solid or liquid particles in a gas
A 2 year old getting racemic epinephrine. On a SVN. (He did not read the
whole question)
5-10mg
What is the particle size rate for pulmonary diagnostics and therapeutics?
1-10 micrograms
You are the RT working in the ED. A 67 year old male with chronic bronchitis
presents with stress and vital signs has a heart rate of 123 beats/min and a
RR at 28 breaths/min. Upon auscultation you hear mild to moderate expiratory
wheezing. Which of the following is the least appropriate to administer an
aerosolized drug to this patient?
DPI (because they can not produce an adequate inspiratory flow o 30-90mL)
What Process of inspiratory holds in conjunction with delivery will:
allows for better deposition.
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of an Ultrasonic Nebulizer:
, Very expensive
You are administering aerosol treatment to a patient with SVN when you
notice that the aerosol output appears to be less than normal and it is set to
4L. What do you do?
Increase the flow
You are dealing with a 4 year old child on a Jet nebulizer. What percentage
gets into their lungs?
10-15%
Your patient explains she stores her albuterol in the refrigerator because she
says it stays fresher. What should you tell you patient on how to store it.
Needs to be stored at room temperature
You are teaching the proper us of MDI to an elderly patient who has difficulty
with coordinating breath actuation with inspiratory effort. What suggestion or
device would help this patient overcome this?
Spacer/Champer, or SVN
Greatest limitation with a DPI?
Inspiratory Flow Rates
What is the liter flow for a DPI?
30-90mL
