What is pulmonary disease? -CORRECT ANSWERType of disease that affects the
lungs and other associated parts of the respiratory system.
Describe pulmonary disease -CORRECT ANSWERAcute, obstructive, chronic or
infectious/non-infectious
Pulmonary disease can be associated with other organs - True or False -CORRECT
ANSWERTrue - the heart in particular
Signs and symptoms of pulmonary disease (8) -CORRECT ANSWER-Dyspnea
-Cough
-Sputum
-Pain
-Cyanosis
-Clubbing
-Hemopysis
-Abnormal breathing patterns
Coughing up blood -CORRECT ANSWERhemoptysis
What is kussmal respiration? -CORRECT ANSWERincreased respirations and tidal
volumes
Alternating breathing patterns of deep and shallow breathing -CORRECT
ANSWERcheyne-stokes
What is hypoxemia -CORRECT ANSWERreduced oxygenation of arterial blood
What is hypoxia? -CORRECT ANSWERdeficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching
the tissues
What happens in respiratory failure? -CORRECT ANSWERDefined as inadequate gas
exchange. Can result from injury to lungs, airway or chest wall or indirectly from disease
to other body systems
What is flail chest? -CORRECT ANSWERResults from fractures of ribs, which allow ribs
to move independently during respiration
,Clinical manifestations flail chest? (5) -CORRECT ANSWER-Pain in chest
-Tenderness
-Difficulty breathing
-Bruising and inflammation
-Paradoxical movement when breathing
What is primary (spontaneous) pneumothorax? -CORRECT ANSWERoccurs when a
small air blister (bleb) on the top of the lung ruptures
What is secondary pneumothorax? -CORRECT ANSWERCaused by disease, trauma,
injury, or condition
What causes iatrogenic pneumothorax? -CORRECT ANSWERtransthoracic needle
aspiration
When is the difference between open and closed pneumothorax? -CORRECT
ANSWEROpen air pressure enters into pleural space during inspiration and exits during
expiration. Closed air does not escape pleural space during expiration
Presence of fluid in plural space -CORRECT ANSWERpleural effusion
Collection of blood in the pleural space -CORRECT ANSWERhemothorax
Presence of pus in the plural space -CORRECT ANSWEREmpyema
what is a restrictive lung disorder -CORRECT ANSWERdecrease compliance of the
lung tissue
What is the impact from restrictive lung disorders? -CORRECT ANSWERIndividuals
experience dyspnea, increased respiratory rate, and decreased tidal volume
Passage of fluid and solid particles into the lung -CORRECT ANSWERAspiration
Clinical manifestations of aspiration? -CORRECT ANSWER-Sudden onset of choking
-Intractable cough
-fever
-dyspnea
-Wheezing
Collapse of lung tissue -CORRECT ANSWERatelectasis
What are the 3 types of atelectasis? -CORRECT ANSWER- Compression
- Absorption
- Surfactant
Clinical manifestations of atelectasis? (4) -CORRECT ANSWER-Dyspnea
, -Fever
-Cough
-Leukocytosis
persistant abnormal dilation of the bronchi -CORRECT ANSWERBronchiectasis
clinical manifestations include: chronic productive cough, a lot of foul smelling sputum,
hemoptysis and clubbing -CORRECT ANSWERbronchiectasis
excessive amount of fibrous or connective tissue in the lungs -CORRECT
ANSWERpulmonary fibrosis
Pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis -CORRECT ANSWERcaused by formation of
scar tissue after active pulmonary diseases, autoimmune disorders, arthritis, or
inhalation injuries - chronic inflammation leads to fibrosis and marked loss of lung
compliance
Can occur in otherwise healthy individuals in association with an upper or lower
respiratory tract infection -CORRECT ANSWERbronchiolitis in adults
excess water in the lungs -CORRECT ANSWERpulmonary edema
causes of pulmonary edema -CORRECT ANSWERleft sided heart disease or capillary
injury
clinical manifestations of pulmonary edema? (5) -CORRECT ANSWER-Dyspnea
-Hypoxemia
-increased work of breathing
-Crackles (rales)
-Dullness on percussion
Treatment for pulmonary edema -CORRECT ANSWERdepends on cause - left sided
heart failure: diuretics, vasodilators and medications, capillary injury: maintain adequate
ventilation and circulation
Represents a spectrum of acute lung inflammation and defuse alveolocapillary injury -
CORRECT ANSWERacute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
Clinical manifestations of ARDS? (6) -CORRECT ANSWER-dyspnea
-hyperventilation
-decreased perfusion
-organ dysfunction
-increased work of breathing
-decreased tidal volume
