Question 1

The absence of pathogenic microorganisms

Answer 1

Asepsis

Question 2

Prevent and control infection and its spread

Answer 2

Standard precautions

Question 3

Rate of breathing regular but abnormally slow. Less than 12 breaths/min

Answer 3

Bradypnea

Question 4

Rate of breathing is regular but abnormally rapid. More than 20 breaths/min

Answer 4

Tachypnea

Question 5

Respirations are labored, increased in depth, and increased in rate (greater than 20 breaths/min)
(Occurs normally during exercise)

Answer 5

Hyperpnea

Question 6

Respirations cease for several seconds. Persistent cessation results in respiratory arrest

Answer 6

Apnea

Question 7

Rate and depth of respirations increase. Hypocarbia sometimes occurs.

Answer 7

Hyperventilation

Question 8

Respiratory rate abnormally low, and depth of ventilation is depressed. Hypercarbia sometimes occurs

Answer 8

Hypoventilation

Question 9

Respiratory rate and depth are irregular, characterized by alternating periods of apnea and hyperventilation. Respiratory cycle begins with slow shallow breaths that gradually increase to abnormal rate and depth. Pattern reverses breathing slows and becomes shallow, climaxing in apnea before respiration resumes

Answer 9

Cheyne- Stokes respiration

Question 10

Respirations are abnormally deep, regular and increased in rate

Answer 10

Kussmaul’s respirations

Question 11

Respirations are abnormally shallow for two or three breaths followed by irregular period of apnea

Answer 11

Biot’s respiration
