CP: PULMONARY DISEASE - RESTRICTIVE EXAM
2025/2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED
A+
Causes of restrictive lung disease - lung parenchymal disease decreases lung compliance
Pleural abnormalities
Ventilatory pump dysfunction
Clinical manifestations of restrictive disorders - cough
Decreased IC, VC, TLC
Normal or decreased RV
Increased RR esp. On exertion
DOE
Decreased exercise tolerance
Tachypnea
Abnormal pfts
Abnormal breath sounds, chest x-ray
Possible ventilatory muscle fatigue/failure
Possible S/S Pulmonary Hypertension, RVH, cor pulmonale
What do pleural abnormalities and ventilatory pump dysfunctions cause? - decreased thoracic
expansion
Main component of restrictive lung disorders - decreased lung expansion
Restrictive lung disorder condition that affects lung parenchyma - atelectasis, penumonia,
pulmonary fibrosis, ARDS, pulmonary edema, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,
bronchopulmonary dysplasia, occupational lung diseases, collagen vascular and CT disorders
Restrictive lung disorder condition that affects pleurae - pleural effusion
Pleural fibrosis
, Pneumothorax
Hemothorax
Restrictive lung disorder conditions that affect ventilatory pump function - impaired respiratory
drive
Neurological and neuromuscular disorders
Muscular weakness
Thoracic deformity or trauma
Collagen vascular and CT disorders
Extrathoracic conditions
Lung hyperinflation
Restrictive Lung Disease treatments: supportive measures - Supplemental O2
Nutritional support
Ventilatory support
Restrictive Lung Disease treatments: therapeutic/corrective measures - medications the treat
underlying causes
- anti-bacterial/microbials; tx pulmonary edema
Restrictive Lung Disease treatments: PT interventions - individualized aerobic, resistance,
flexibility exs
Airway clearance, breathing exs, coughing tech, respiratory muscle training, relaxation training,
energy conservation
Atelectasis - alveolar collapse due to
-obstruction
-compression
-inadequate inspiratory volume
Atelectasis diagnosis - x-ray, auscultation, physical exam
