MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following is an expected role of a respiratory therapist?
1. Promoting lung health and wellness
2. Providing patient education
3. Assessing the patient’s cardiopulmonary health status
4. Selling oxygen (O2) therapy devices to patients
a. 1 and 3 only
b. 2 and 4 only
c. 1, 2, and 3 only
d. 2, 3, and 4 only
ANS: C
Respiratory care includes the assessment, treatment, management, control, diagnostic
evaluation, education, and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities of the
cardiopulmonary system. Respiratory care is increasingly involved in the prevention of
respiratory disease, the management of patients with chronic disease, and promotion of health
and wellness.
DIF: Recall OBJ: 1
2. Where are the majority of respiratory therapists employed?
a. Skilled nursing facilities
b. Diagnostic laboratories
c. Hospitals or acute care settings
d. Outpatient physician offices
ANS: C
Approximately 75% of all respiratory therapists work in hospitals or other acute care settings.
DIF: Recall OBJ: 1

a. Hippocrates
b. Galen
c. Erasistratus
d. Aristotle
ANS: A
The foundation of modern Western medicine was laid in ancient Greece with the development
