Hemophysis
Barrel shaped ches
Chronic swelling
A thin 75 year old male complains of difficulty breathing. He states he has smoked “3 packs of cigarettes a day for 30 years.” He has bilateral wheezes
Lung cancer
Chronic bronchitis
Emphysema
Asthma
A 16 asthmatic female is in tripod position complains of increased shortness of breath. SPO2 is 79%. You should administer oxygen at
4 lmp via venture mask
10 lmp via non-rebreather mask
6lmp via nasal cannula
2 lpm via nasal cannula
During a long transport you are administering oxygen.
Consider using humidified oxygen
Utilize the blow by delivery method
Place a nasal cannula on the patient
Turn down the oxygen flow rate
A 45 year old female is complaining of breathing difficult. Her lung sounds are clear but she is becoming cyanotic on the lips
Assist respiration with artificial ventilation only
Provide oxygen by nasal cannula at 4 lmp
Assist respiration with artificial ventilation and supplemental oxygen
Deliver oxygen via nonrebreather mask at 15 lmp
Prescribed inhalers are helpful for patients with an obstructive pulmonary disease because they
Slow the heart rate
Stimulate beta 2 receptors
Constrict bronchial tubes
Reduce pain
Which of the following is a symptom?
Cyanosis
Shortness of breath
Oxygen saturation
Respiratory rate
A 14 year old female is short of breath. She has a history of cystic fibrosis. Lung sounds reveal course rhonchi. What is most likely the cause of her condition
Blebs on the lung tissue
Aspiration
Bronchoconstriction
Mucous secretions
A properly size oropharyngeal airway should measure from the patient’s
Corner of the mouth to the tip of the earlobe
Corner of the mouth to the nose
Nose to the tip of the chin
Nose to the tip of the earlobe
An 80-year-old male has return of spontaneous circulation after the AED use. Respirations are 8 and shallow.
Assist ventilation with a bvm
Continue cpr for an additional 2 minutes
Transport in recovery position
Place an advanced airway adjunct
Explanation / Answer
Answer: 1:barrel shaped chest
It occurs because the lungs are chronically over inflated with air,so the rib cage stage stays partially expanded all the time.This makes breathing less efficient and exgravates shortness of breath.
2:Lung cancer
Lung cancer and smoking often goes hand in hand .
Lung cancer symptoms include smoking,wheezing,shortness of breath and bloody mucus.
3.4 lmp via venture mask
4.Place a nasal cannula on the patient.
5.Assist respiration with artificial ventilation and supplemental oxygen.
6. Stimulate beta 2 receptors
They engage the beta 2 adrenergic receptors on smooth muscles of bronchial tissue,relieving bronchospasm and reducing airway resistence.
7.Cyanosis
A bluish discolouration of the skin due to poor circulation or indequate oxygenation of the blood.
8.Mucous secretions .
Cystic fibrosis causes the production of abnormally thick mucus leading to the blokage of pancreatic ducts,intestines,bronchi and often results in repiratory infections.
9.Corner of the mouth to the tip of earlobe.
10.Continue cpr for an additional 2 minutes.
