  2. Hemorrhage
  3. Trauma
  4. Pain, Infection
17
Q

List a reason why you would not attempt an ABG

A

If a patient fails a modified Allen’s test on both hands

18
Q

List 3 indications for Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) BiPAP

A
  1. Avoid Intubation
  2. Relieve symptoms
  3. Improve gas exchange
  4. Improve quality of life
19
Q

List 3 Hazards for Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) BiPAP

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

List 3 Contraindications for Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) BiPAP

A
  1. Lack of patient cooperation/impaired consciousness
  2. Inability to protect airway/high aspiration risk
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 EKG?

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

List 3 techniques that are used to measure residual volume (RV)

A
  1. Helium dilution
  2. Nitrogen (N2) washout
  3. Body Plethysmography
35
Q

What is the severity of the pulmonary impairment, if the FEV1 is 52% of the predicted value?

A

Moderately Severe
50-59% Range

36
Q

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding measurement of the patients Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)?
a. it is an effort-dependent test
b. the pt. can be sitting or standing
c. Accurate results can be obtained w/out pt. cooperation
d. nose clips help obtain accurate results

A

C

37
Q

When ensuring test reliability, the test results should not vary more than…

A

To ensure reliability, the largest FVC and second largest FVC from the acceptable trials should not vary by more than

0.15L

38
Q

Thoroughly explain the instructions for performing an FVC

A
  1. Patient takes maximum deep breath in, to Total Lung Capacity (TLC).
  2. Once the patient is at TLC, without hesitation the patient will blow out as hard and as fast as they can for at least six seconds with maximum effort at all times.
