N256 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++
Ventilation
The physical movement of air in and out of the lungs; exhalation and inhalation
Surfactant
Compound that decreases the work of breathing; infants may need artificial spray to
allow them to breathe easier
Phrenic
Damage to this nerve can halt the ability to expand the diaphragm and cause ventilation
to stop
High Fowler's
Position to place a patient in if they are struggling to breathe
Diffusion
Movement of oxygen across the capillaries into the blood
Systemic Diffusion
Movement of oxygen from the blood to the tissues
Perfusion
Transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the tissues and the lungs
Hypovolemia
Low blood volume; can effect perfusion
Hypoxia
, Low oxygen at a cellular level; signs include restlessness, cyanosis, nasal flaring, and
intercostal retractions
Hypoxemia
Low oxygen levels in the blood
Orthopnea
Shortness of breath that occurs when lying flat; need to position patient in semi-Fowler's
to breathe adequately
Huff
Type of coughing utilized by patients to move secretions and help breathing when they
cannot forcefully cough due to abdominal surgery or hernia
Psychomotor
Bloom domain of learning focused on DOING
Cognitive
Bloom domain of learning focused on thinking, listing facts, and demonstrating
knowledge through quizzes
Affective
Bloom domain of learning focused on the understanding and emotional component of
human nature
Perceived Need
First thing to be evaluated in a patient before a teaching plan can be developed and
