QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
| LATEST UPDATE { GRADED A+}
Tidal Volume (TV) - ✔✔amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled during normal
resting breathing
Residual volume (RV) - ✔✔the volume of air remaining in the lungs following a
maximal expiration
Expiratory reverse volume (ERV) - ✔✔volume of air that can be forcefully
expelled following a normal expiration.
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) - ✔✔the volume of air that can be forcefully
breathed in following a normal inspiration
Forced vital capacity (FVC) - ✔✔amount of air that is under volitional control
FVC = IRV + TV + ERV
, Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) - ✔✔volume of air that can be forcefully
expelled in 1 second following a full inspiration. Normally, at least 75% of FVC is
exhaled within the first second.
Total lung capacity - ✔✔The sum of the residual volume and the forced vital
capacity. (TV + IRV + ERV + RV)
Functional residual capacity - ✔✔the volume of air remaining in the lungs
following a normal expiration (ERV +RV)
Atelectasis - ✔✔collapsed lung; incomplete expansion of alveoli
Auscultation - normal breath sound called? - ✔✔vesicular
Orthopnea - ✔✔Difficulty breathing except in a sitting and standing position
Anticoagulants - ✔✔Coumadin & heparin
Increased blood-clotting time
Administered to pt's with deep vein thrombosis
Bronchodilator - ✔✔Epinephrine, Alupent, Ventolin, Proventil
Relax smooth muscle and open airway lumen to assist in breathing
Corticosteroids - ✔✔Prednisone & cortisol
