Patients with obstructive pulmonary disease will show a reduction in timed FEV% values, while patients with restrictive disorders will generally exhibit normal (or sometimes high) FEV% values. The correct answer is: 70-83% of the FVC ⦁ Simple spirometry can be used to measure any of the following except: ⦁ vital capacity ⦁ residual volume ⦁ tidal volume ⦁ inspiratory reserve volume Residual volume is defined as the amount of air left in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. Because the RV cannot be exhaled, it is impossible to be measured by simple spirometry. And because the RV is a component of the FRC and TLC, simple spirometry also cannot measure these capacities. The correct answer is: residual volume ⦁ A patient presents to the emergency room with a depressed level of consciousness and is severely agitated.
