  2. Barotrauma from pressures
  3. Hypo/Hyperventilation
  4. Decreased VR, CO
20
Q

21
Q

The purpose of performing the sensitivity test on sputum samples is to.

A

Identify and analyze microorganisms present in a patient’s sputum and determine their susceptibility to specific antibiotics

22
Q

What is considered a good sputum sample?

A

Few Epithelial Cells
Many Pus Cells

23
Q

T or F, The purpose of sputum induction is to deliver a slightly irritating mist to increase the flow of bronchial secretions and stimulate a cough to produce a specimen adequate volume

A

True

24
Q

What is a hypertonic solution?
7.0%, 0.9%, 0.3%, 0.05%

A

7.0%

Concentrations greater than 0.9% are considered hypertonic

25
Q

What are some symptoms that suggest the need for an ECG?

A

Syncope, SOB w/palpitations, Chest Pain

26
Q

What is the proper location of V4?

A

It’s placed in the 5th Intercostal space in the Midclavicular line

27
Q

What is the proper location of V6?

A

It’s placed in the 5th Intercostal space in the Midaxillary line

28
Q

On the EKG Paper
Each large box represents _______ seconds
Each small box represents _______ seconds

A

Large = 0.20 sec
Small = 0.04 sec

29
Q

How do you obtain
Atrial Rate
Ventricular Rate

A

Atrial Rate: Count the number of P waves (6 sec strips) and multiply that number by 10. Ex. 7 pwaves (6sec) x 10 = HR 70 beat/min

Ventricular Rate: Count the number of QRS Complexes (6 sec strips) and multiply that number by 10. Ex. 7 QRS Complexes (6sec) x 10 = HR 70 beat/min

30
Q

What does the P wave and QRS Complex represent?

A

P Wave represents the depolarization occurring in the Atria

QRS Complex represents the depolarization occuring in the Ventricles

31
Q

List 3 indications for Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

A
  1. To identify and quantify changes in pulmonary function
  2. To evaluate the need for and quantify therapeutic effectiveness
  3. To assess patients for post operative pulmonary complications
32
Q

List 3 contraindications for Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)

A
  1. Hemoptysis
  2. Pneumothorax
  3. Acute MI
33
Q

What percent increase in FEV1 is needed to be considered a reversibility of any airway obstruction

A

An increase >= 12% after bronchodilator administration indicates reversibility of airway obstruction

34
Q
