To promote oxygenation, deep breathing and coughing may be done

Answer 7

True

Question 8

True or False:

True

Question 9

Also referred to as sustained maximal inspiration devices (SMIs), measures the flow of air inhaled through the mouthpiece

Answer 9

Incentive Spirometry

Question 10

True or False:

Incentive spirometry can be used to improve pulmonary ventilation and loosen respiratory secretions

Answer 10

True

Question 11

True or False

The sequence for PVD is usually vibration, percussion, postural drainage, removal of secretions by coughing or suctioning

Answer 11

False - The sequence for PVD is usually postural drainage, percussion, vibration, removal of secretions by coughing or suctioning

Question 12

A dependent nursing intervention that is used over congested lung areas can mechanically dislodge tenacious secretions from the bronchial walls

Answer 12

Percussion

Question 13

Used after percussion to increase the turbulence of the exhaled air and thus loosen thick secretions

Answer 13

Vibration

Question 14

Drainage by the gravity of secretions from various lung segments

Answer 14

Postural Drainage

Question 15

True or false:

The best times to perform postural drainage include before breakfast. lunch, in the late afternoon and before bedtime

Answer 15

True

Question 16

Clients who have difficulty ventilating all areas of their lungs. Those whose gas exchange is impaired, or people with heart failure may benefit from this

Answer 16

Oxygen Therapy

Question 17

True or False:

The oxygen delivery system includes a cannula, face mask, and face tent

Answer 17

True

Question 18

What are the kinds of face masks for the oxygen delivery system?

Answer 18

Simple face mask
Partial rebreather mask
Non-rebreather mask
Venturi mask

Question 19

This may replace masks when masks are poorly tolerated by clients

Answer 19

Face tent

Question 20

An opening into the trachea through the neck where a tube is usually inserted through the opening and an artificial airway is created

Answer 20

Tracheostomy

Question 21

True or False:

The position for tracheostomy is semi-fowlers or fowler’s position

Answer 21

True

Question 22

Aspirating secretions through a catheter connected to a suction machine or wall suction outlet

Answer 22

Suctioning

Question 23

True or False

Sterile technique is recommended for all suctioning to avoid introducing pathogens into the airway

Answer 23

True

Question 24

Giving the client breaths that are 1-1.5 times the tidal volume set on the ventilator through ventilator circuit or via manual resuscitation bag

Answer 24

Hyperinflation

Question 25

Done with a manual resuscitation bag or through the ventilator and is performed by increasing the 02 flow (usually to 100%) before suctioning and between suction attempts

Answer 25

Hyperoxygenation

Answer 26

Whistle-tipped catheter
Open-tipped catheter
Yankauer suction catheter

Question 27

True or False:

During the oropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal, and nasotracheal suctioning, an unconscious client must be positioned in a semi-fowlers position.

Answer 27

False - lateral position facing the nurse
