Question
Answer
functions of the respiratory system   O2/CO2 exchange, acid-base balance, protection, speech production  
🗑
upper respiratory tract   nose, sinuses, pharynx, trachea  
🗑
lower respiratory tract   bronchi, lungs  
🗑
where O2 is exchanged for CO2 within the lungs   alveoli  
🗑
food/air goes through what to get to the esophagus   pharynx  
🗑
exchange of gases between the environment and the body's internal cells   respirations  
🗑
respiratory refleses   coughing, sneezing yawning  
🗑
ventilation means   breathing  
🗑
what part of our brain stimulates respirations   medulla  
🗑
what assists the medulla in maintaining respirations   diaphragm and intercostal muscles  
🗑
major regulator of respirations   carbon dioxide  
🗑
what makes it where you have some voluntary control of your breathing   cerebral cortex  
🗑
respirations that are at the lung level   external  
🗑
respirations that are at the cellular level   internal  
🗑
collect sputum specimen when?   first thing in morning  
🗑
specimen where MD goes through nose to get it   lavage specimen  
🗑
<7   acidosis  
🗑
>7   alkalosis  
🗑
test that measures lung capacity   PFT (pulmonary function test)  
🗑
puncturing the chest wall to remove excess fluid or air from the pleural cavity is called   thoracentesis  
🗑
uses position and gravity to drain secretions and mucus from the individual's lungs   postural drainage  
🗑
puncturing of the abdominal cavity for aspiration of fluid   paracentesis  
🗑
an incision into the thorax r chest cavity   thoracotomy  
🗑
do this w/postural drainage   CPT (chest percussion therapy)  
🗑
normal breathing   eupnea  
🗑
common cold   rhinitis  
🗑
rhinitis is spread by   droplets  
🗑
loss of the sense of smell is common in what respiratory disorder   tracheotomy  
🗑
puss in pleural space   empyema  
🗑
non-productive cough is common in what respiratory disorder   bronchitis  
🗑
alveoli collapses in what respiratory disorder   atelectasis  
🗑
abnormal, permanent enlargement of the alveoli and alveolar ducts w/destruction of the alveolar walls   pulmonary emphysema  
🗑
alveoli quit working and the x-ray is complete white   ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)  
🗑
spread by inhalation of droplets and verified by chest x-ray   TB (pulmonary tuberculosis)  
🗑
if poorly managed, can lead to emphysema   asthma  
🗑
more than 5 cessations of airflow for at least 10 seconds each per hour of sleep   sleep apnea  
🗑
an attack that persists for more than 24 hrs. and that does not respond to treatment is called   status asthmaticus  
🗑
how fast a person can exhale after deep inhalation   peak flow  
🗑
1st action c/pt. experiencing sob   reposition pt. into an orthopneic position  
🗑
priority intervention if Pleur-Evac system becomes disconnected from chest tube   double-clamp the chest tube  
🗑
option that indicates the pt. is experiencing severe hypoxemia   hypotension  
🗑
relates most directly to a dianosis of pulmonary emphysema   decreased breath sounds, barrel chest, sob  
🗑
the nurse suspects pleurisy when   the client complains of chest pain w/inspiratin plus complaint of an earache  
🗑
primary risk factor for developing lung cancer   exposure to smoke or smoking cigarettes  
🗑
low-flow device that uses a bag instead of valves   PRM (partial-rebreathing mask)  
🗑
uses valves on the outside of the mask as well as between the mask and bag   NRM (non-rebreathing mask)  
🗑
too much oxygen can lead to   respiratory arrest  
🗑
offers specific oxygen concentrations ranging from 24 to 50% that match specific adapters for flow rates of 4,6, or 8 lpm   venturi masks  
🗑
this ventilator encloses all or part of the body   negative pressure ventilator  
🗑
oxygen sources available for home use   oxygen cylinders and concentrators  
🗑
these ventilators can deliver a consistent volume of air with each breath, a preset pressure of air or total breathing for the client at set intervals   positive pressure ventilators  
🗑
type of ventilation where the pt. takes on more work of breathing and gradually progresses to breathing w/o mechanical assistance   SIMV (synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation)  
🗑

🗑
during pulmonary perfusion 02 binds to   blood  
🗑
   
🗑
