Acute Care

Question 1

Type of bed used when skeletal stability and alignment are desired; to permit a patient to be turned horizontally from prone to supine or from supine to prone

Answer 1

Turning frame

Question 2

Patients who use a ventilator can participate in various types of exercise and other bedside activities, including sitting and ambulation.

The patient must be informed of the activity, and the caregiver must be certain the tubing is of a sufficient length to allow the physical activity to be performed.

Answer 2

Both statements are correct

Question 3

Most ventilators, also known as respirators, currently use positive pressure to move gas outside the patient’s lungs.

The purpose of a ventilator is to maintain adequate and appropriate air exchange when normal respiration is inhibited or cannot be actively performed by the patient.

Answer 3

Only 2nd statement is correct

Question 4

This oxygen delivery mask encloses the patient’s trunk and head may be used, especially if the patient is restless, very young, uncooperative, or extremely ill.

Answer 4

Tent

Question 5

Type of bed designed to maintain a seriously injured patient in a stable position and maintain proper postural alignment through the use of adjustable bolsters.

Answer 5

Posttrauma Mobility Beds

Question 6

The following are complications associated with Intravenous Therapy EXCEPT:

a.Erythema

b.Allergic reaction

c.Air embolism

d.Local infection

Answer 6

d.Local infection

Question 7

This is used to remove air, blood, purulent matter, or other undesirable material from the patient’s chest or pleural cavity.

Answer 7

Chest drainage

Question 8

Type of ventilator that is used primarily for patients who require long-term support.

Answer 8

Volume-Cycled Ventilators

Question 9

This catheter is inserted directly into the bladder through an incision in the lower abdomen and bladder

Answer 9

Suprapubic catheter

Question 10

Type of ventilator that delivers a predetermined, established maximum pressure of gas during respiration, and the inspiratory phase ends when that level is reached.

Answer 10

Pressure-Cycled Ventilators

Question 11

The following patient factors should be considered beforeand during patient treatment in special care environment EXCEPT

Answer 11

Patient rapport

Question 12

This monitor measures the pressure exerted against the skull by brain tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is used for patients who have experienced a closed head injury, a cerebral hemorrhage, a brain tumor, or an overproduction of CSF

Answer 12

Intracranial Pressure Monitor

Question 13

A urinary catheter can be applied internally (i.e., an indwelling catheter) or externally. The external urinary catheter is used successfully both in male and female patients.

Answer 13

Only 1st statement is correct

Question 14

The mode of ventilation where the inspiration phase of respiration begins at timed intervals based on the patient’s need for gas.

Answer 14

Control mode

Question 15

This mode of ventilation allows the ventilation cycle to be coordinated with the patient’s own breathing cycle.

Answer 15

Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode

Question 16

The purposes of this tube includes removing fluid or gas from the stomach and gastrointestinal(GI) tract and evaluating digestive function and activity in the GI tract.

Answer 16

Nasogastric tube

Question 17

Exercise of the lower extremities can be performed by a patient with a catheter as long as the caregiver avoids disconnection, stretching, or occlusion of the drainage tube.

During transport, the urinary bag should be placed on the lap to avoid any backflow or leakage.

Answer 17

Only 1st statement is correct

Question 18

This is a long plastic IV tube that can be inserted into the internal jugular or the femoral vein, guided into the basilic or subclavian vein, and then passed into the pulmonary artery.

Answer 18

Swan-Ganz Catheter

Question 18

This catheter continuously measure blood pressure or to obtain blood samples without repeated needle punctures, and it usually provides accurate measurements.

Answer 18

A line

Question 19

T or F: The caregiver should ensure that the IV bag is above the level of the heart when moving the patient to prevent reflux of the IV fluid.

Answer 19

True

Question 20

Heated, pressurized air flows through the beads to suspend a polyester cover that supports the patient.

Answer 20

AIR-FLUIDIZED SUPPORT BED (CLINITRON)

Question 21

have several segmented and separated air bladders that allow the limited escape of air

Answer 21

LOW AIR LOSS THERAPY BED

Question 22

use positive pressure to move or propel gas or air into the patient’s lungs

Answer 22

MECHANICAL VENTILATORS

Question 23

is a plastic IV tube used to measure pressures in the right atrium or the superior vena cava

Answer 23

CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE CATHETER

Question 24

is inserted through the cephalic or internal jugular vein and passes through the superior vena cava to near the tip of the right atrium

Answer 24
