Filter environmental air to free it of bacteria and other harmful substances such as dust and air pollution.

Answer 3

CILIA

Question 4

the intake of air into the
lungs through expansion of chest volume.

Answer 4

Inhalation

Question 5

the expulsion of air from
the lungs through contraction of chest
volume.

Answer 5

Exhalation

Question 6

– primary respiratory system
– Rate and depth of respirations

Answer 6

Medulla oblongata

Question 7

• Moderates the rhythm of inspiration and expiration

Answer 7

• Pons

Question 8

– Cough Reflex

Answer 8

• Reflex Control

Question 9

– Act to reduce oxygen level

Answer 9

• Peripheral Control (Carotid and Aortic
bodies)

Question 10

• is the act of breathing.
• supply the body with oxygen for metabolic activity and to remove carbon dioxide.

Answer 10

RESPIRATION

Question 11

• The movement of air in and out of the lungs
• Involves three forces:
– Compliance
– Surface Tension
– Muscular Effort

Answer 11

VENTILATION

Question 12

• Blood flow from the right side of the heart, through the pulmonary circulation, and into the left side of the heart.

Answer 12

PULMONARY PERFUSION

Question 13

• Gas movement from an area of greater to lesser concentration through a semipermeable membrane

Answer 13

DIFFUSION

Question 14

– deep, rapid respiration
due to excessive
amount of air in lungs

Answer 14

• HYPERVENTILATION

Question 15

– slow respiration and
causes of retention
of carbon dioxide

Answer 15

• HYPOVENTILATION

Question 16

– difficult and
labored breathing.

Answer 16

• DYSPNEA

Question 17

– ability to breath only
in upright position or
sitting position

Answer 17

• ORTHOPNEA

Question 18

• Comfortable and simple, and allows client to move about in bed.
• Delivers 25% to 40% oxygen at flow rates of 4 to 6 L/min.
• Difficult to keep in position unless client is alert and cooperative.

Answer 18

NASAL PRONGS/CANNULA

Question 19

•Allows for accurate delivery of prescribed concentration of oxygen.
•Delivers 24% to 50% oxygen at flow rates of 4 to 8 L/min.
•Useful in long-term treatment of COPD.

Answer 19

VENTURI MASK

Question 20

• Poorly tolerated—used for
short periods of time; feeling
of “suffocation.”
• Delivers 50% to 60% oxygen
at flow rates of 8 to 12 L/min.
• Hot—may produce pressure
sores around nose and mouth.

Answer 20

SIMPLE 02 FACE MASK

Question 21

• Oxygen flow rate prevents
collapse of bag during
inhalation.
• Delivers 90% to 95%
oxygen at flow rates of 10
to 12 L/min.
• Ideal for severe hypoxia,
but client may complain
of feelings of suffocation.

Answer 21

NON-REBREATHER MASK

Question 22

• HAS A TWO-WAY VALVE allows you to breathe a mix of pure oxygen combined with your breath for a lower and variable amount of oxygen.
• typically delivers 50 to 70 percent oxygen.
They’re useful in situations when people have extremely low levels of blood oxygen, since they can quickly deliver oxygen to your blood.

Answer 22

PARTIAL REBREATHER MASK

Question 23

• Provides humidification and enriched oxygen
mixtures to tracheostomy or endotracheal tube.
• Delivers up to 100% oxygen at flow rates at least
twice the minute ventilation

Answer 23

TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE/ENDOTRACHEAL
TUBE

Question 24

gas flows into the client until a predetermined
airway pressure is reached.

Answer 24

Pressure cycled

Question 25

gas flows for a certain percentage of time during ventilatory
cycle.

Answer 25

Time cycled

Question 26

most common ventilators used; tidal volume
is determined, and a fixed volume is delivered with each breath.

Answer 26

Volume cycled

Question 27

machine delivers a breath at a fixed rate
regardless of client’s effort or demands.

Answer 27

Controlled

Question 28

machine senses a client’s efforts to
breathe and delivers a fixed tidal volume with each effort.

Answer 28

Assist-controlled

Question 29

breaths are
delivered by the machine, but the client may also breathe
spontaneously without machine assistance.

Answer 29

Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV)

Question 30

client breathes spontaneously and
determines ventilator rate.

Answer 30

Pressure support

Question 31

determined by the
respiratory rate and the tidal volume. A
respiratory rate of 10 to 15 breaths/min is
considered appropriate.

Answer 31

Minute ventilation

Question 32

maintenance of positive airway
pressure at the end of expiration.

Answer 32

Positive end-expiratory pressure
(PEEP)

Question 33
