- ABG- is a blood gas and this tells us the acid base balance of the patient
- Sputum- can tell us if microorganisms are growing in the

Imaging assessment
- x-rays-Xrays show us areas of opaque which
usually indicate pneumonia/consolidation of
fluid
Diagnostic Assessment of lungs
-CT- computed tomography. Lung nodules, areas
of fluid buildup Other noninvasive diagnostic
assessments
- Pulse oximetry-circulating O2- tells us oxygen levels in the
tissues- usually fingers, toes, or earlobes
- Capnometry and capnography-how much CO2 is leaving the lungs.
-PFTs-Lung function- tell us how well the lungs function at moving air in
and out
- Exercise testing-Exercise tolerance
-Endoscopic examinations
-Bronchoscopy- is a camera that looks at the airway passages
Invasive Diagnostic Assessment
-Thoracentesis- can remove fluid buildup from the lung
-Lung biopsy- is used to diagnose some lung diseases or cancer

perfusion, a patient will have D.10
what percent of oxygen 0%
dissociate from the hemoglobin
molecule? ANS: B
Oxygen dissociates with the hemoglobin molecule based on the
need for oxygen to perfuse tissues. Under normal conditions,
50% of hemoglobin molecules completely dissociate their
oxygen molecules when blood perfuses tissues that have an
oxygen tension (concentration) of 26 mm Hg. This is
considered a "normal" point at which
50% of hemoglobin molecules are no longer saturated with oxygen.
A.Cough
B.Dyspnea
C.Chest pain
D.Sputum
Which assessment finding does production ANS: A
the nurse interpret that is
associated most closely with Cough is a main sign of lung disease. Dyspnea (difficulty in breathing or
lung disease? breathlessness) is a subjective perception and varies among
patients. A patient's feeling of dyspnea may not be consistent
with the severity of the presenting
problem. Sputum production may be associated with coughing and indicate
