The patient's lung has an air leak Correct Answer: You are
... [Show More] called to the emergency department
to help care for a patient who was in a vehicle accident and has chest injuries including broken
ribs. Crepitations are felt while palpitating the patient's neck. What is most likely the cause of
this?
Reversible airway obstruction Correct Answer: A forced expiratory measurement obtained after
the administration of a bronchodilator shows an increase in FEV1 from 60% to 80% of predicted.
This indicates a:
complete airway obstruction Correct Answer: During capnography monitoring of a
mechanically ventilated patient, you note that the end-tidal PCO2 (PetCO2) has dropped to 0 mm
Hg. This finding may indicate:
inserting an esophageal-tracheal combitube Correct Answer: An unconscious apneic patient
with a full stomach cannot be orally intubated in the emergency room. Which of the following
would your recommend be?
patients size and clinical condition Correct Answer: While establishing initial ventilatory
support settings for a new patient, the most important consideration is the:
Fever (hyperthermia) Correct Answer: A male patient has a lower than normal mixed venous O2
content. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this condition?
apply 5-10 cm H20 pressure support Correct Answer: You are trying to wean an alert intubated
patient off full ventilatory support using the CPAP protocol with 40% O2. Early in the initial
effort her respiratory rate increases from 24 to 30/min and you start to observe some use of her
accessory muscles while breathing. Which of the following would be your first action at this
time?
70 minutes Correct Answer: What is the approximate duration of flow of an oxygen E-cylinder
at 1000 psi running at 4 L/min?
increase the suction pressure to -120 mm Hg Correct Answer: While using a Yankauer device to
suction an adult patient, you are unable to remove thick secretions. The regulator attached to the
oropharyngeal suctioning device displays a reading of -70 mm Hg. Which of the following
actions should you take at this time?
a missing lead Correct Answer: While setting up a 12-lead EKG on a patient, you are unable
obtain any electrical signal. The batteries are fully charged and the device was able to power-on.

angiography Correct Answer: Which of the following imaging procedures is used to evaluate the
arteries for abnormalities such as aneurysm, atherosclerosis, embolism, occlusion, stenosis,
thrombosis, trauma, or vasculitis?
has smoked within the prior 12-24 hours Correct Answer: You obtain an expired carbon
monoxide (CO) reading of 18 ppm on a COPD patient participating in a pulmonary rehabilitation
program. Based on this finding, you can conclude that the patient:
decrease in O2 saturation from 91% to 82% Correct Answer: While monitoring a patient during
a spontaneous breathing trial, which of the following observations would cause you to stop the
trial and return the patient to ventilatory support?
increased ventilation Correct Answer: Your patient is receiving volume control A/C ventilation.
She has become increasingly agitated and the end-tidal CO2 has decreased from 38 to 27 torr
over the last 3 hours. Which of the following is most likely the cause?
3500 mL Correct Answer: A normal vital capacity for a female patient who is five feet three
inches tall and weighs fifty kilograms would be approximately:
the sensitivity Correct Answer: An asthmatic patient is struggling to initiate inspiration on a
ventilator operating in the assist-control mode. Which of the following ventilator settings would
you first check in order to resolve of this problem?
atrial fibrillation Correct A [Show Less]
