T/F: Ventilation is the exchange of oxygen for carbon
dioxide at the cellular level. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ False
Diffusion is the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide at
the cellular level
Ventilation is the process of moving respiratory gases
into and out of the lungs
T/F: A severely anemic patient may experience tachypnea
during routine daily activities. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ True.
Reduced hemoglobin levels result in reduced oxygen-
carrying capacity that leads to decreased oxygen
saturation. The body compensates by increasing the
respiratory rate

What are signs & symptoms of hypoxia (low cellular and
tissue oxygen) - ...ANSWER...✓✓ restlessness (early sign
of hypoxia)
irritability
anxiety
confusion/disorientation
Decreased ability to concentrate
Aletered level of consciousness
Syncope
Altered behavior
increased pulse rate (tachycardia)
increased respiratory rate (tachypnea)
Elevated BP
Cardiac dysrhythmias (irregular/and or premature
rhythms)
Pallor
Complaints of dyspnea (breathlessness)
Cyanosis (usually a late sign of hypoxia)
What causes hypoxia? - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Inadequate
tissue oxygen w/ adequate blood supply
,3|Page
Develops from a deficiency in oxygen delivery or oxygen
utilization at the cellular level
T/F: A patient with a "normal" respiratory rate cannot
become hypoxic - ...ANSWER...✓✓ False.
An individula can have a normal ventilation rate and be
unable to absorb enough oxygen to sustain normal tissue
and organ function
T/F: The appearance of cyanosis around the lips and
fingertips of the patient may be the result of chronic
respiratory impairment. - ...ANSWER...✓✓ True.
Cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous
membranes, is caused by inadequate oxygenation of the
bloodstream. Patients with chronic lung diseases (COPD)
may exhibit cyanosis.
T/F: An elevated pulse rate is the body's attempt to
increase oxygen delivery to the tissues. - ...ANSWER...✓✓
True.
An increase in pulse rate is an adaptive response to meet
the body's oxygen demand. The increased pulse rate may

occur in conjunction with an increased respiratory rate
that attempts to increase oxygen supply.
What are the 3 cough types? - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Huff;
Cascade; Quad
Which type of cough stimulates the natural cough reflex
and is helpful in clearing the large central airways such
as the tracheobronchial tree.? - ...ANSWER...✓✓ Huff
cough
T/F: A patient with an acute onset of pneumonia is
coughing copious amounts of secretions. The best
coughing technique to teach a patient is the huff cough -
...ANSWER...✓✓ False
The best coughing technique for large volumes of sputum
is the cascade cough.
T/F: Coughing maintains patency of the airway by
removing secretions and/or foreign body materials. -
...ANSWER...✓✓ True.
