N202: Test I
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An active process caused by the drop of the diaphragm and the expansion of the intercostal muscles. | Inspiration |
| Typically a passive process mainly caused by elastic recoil of the diaphragm. | Expiration |
| When you breathe in, the: | Diaphragm contracts and the chest expands |
| When you breathe out, the: | Chest contracts and the diaphragm relaxes |
| As you increase in age, the # of cilia decrease, which increases: | The risk for infection |
| As you increase in age, alveoli lose elasticity, which increases: | The resistance to airflow and decreases O2 carrying capacity |
| As you increase in age, muscle mass decreases, which increases: | The work of breathing and pt. fatigues more easily |
| Slow respiratory rate, <10 bpm | Bradypnea |
| Fast respiratory rate, > 24 bpm, usually depth is shallow | Tachypnea |
| Absence of breathing | Apnea |
| Regular but abnormally deep breaths with increased rate | Kussmaul's respirations |
| Air under subcutaneous tissue | Crepitus |
| Fluid in the outside layer of the lungs | Peural effusion |
| Tubular sound heard over the trachea. Expiration > Inspiration | Bronchial |
| Soft swishing lung sound. Inspiration > Expiration | Vesicular |
| Mixture of Bronchial and vesicular sounds. Inspiration = Expiration | Bronchovesicular |
| Fine or course popping noises usually heard on inspiration: | Crackles or Rales |
| Constricted bronchioles, not taking deep breaths or atelectasis can cause: | Decreased breath sounds |
| Course, continuous sounds heard during expiration: | Rhonchi |
| High pitched, musical sounds heard on inspiration & expiration: | Wheezing |
| If you hear crackles with pneumonia: | they disappear when the pt. coughs |
| If you hear crackles with CHF: | the crackles remain when the pt. coughs. |
| Rhonchi always means: | Mucous |
| Wheezing can be heard with: | Asthma, COPD, sometimes CHF |
| The most important breath sound to know is: | Stridor |
| Collapsed alveoli | Atelectasis |
| Collapsed lung | Pneumothorax |
| If there is no air flow in the lungs, pneumothorax, there would be: | Absent breath sounds |
| When inflammation of the pleura, lining of the lungs, is present, what would be heard? | Friction rub |
| If you auscultated a pt.'s lungs and heard the sound of leather rubbing together, what would you document your findings as? | Friction rub |
| If you hear decreased breath sounds in a resting patient, you should first: | Tell the pt. to take several deep breaths and auscultate again |
| You will hear high pitched sounds on inspiration, possibly audible from the door | Stridor |
| Hearing this lung sound usually signifies there is an obstruction: | Stridor |
| If you hear this lung sound and the pt. appears cyanotic and is gasping for breath, this is a medical emergency - scream for help! | Stridor |
| If you hear decreased breath sounds in a resting patient, you should first: | Tell the pt. to take several deep breaths and auscultate again |
