Q

Productive vs. Non-productive cough

A

Productive is wet

non-productive is dry

20
Q

Effective vs. Ineffective cough

A

effective –> productive cough that gets phlegm out

Ineffective –> productive cough that doesn’t get phlegm out

21
Q

Orthopnea

A

shortness of breath when laying down

22
Q

Normal respiratory rate

A

14-18 BPM

23
Q

Tachypnea

A

> 18 BPM

24
Q

Bradypnea

A

<14 BPM

25
Q

Chest Palpation

A

Place hands on back

Should move apart symmetrically with breaths

26
Q

Percussion of the posterior chest

A

Evaluates density of underlying tissue

Areas of unusual density can indicate pathology

27
Q

Stethoscope: Bell vs Diaphragm

A

Bell –> low pitched sounds

Diaphragm –> high pitched sounds

28
Q

Normal Bronchial sounds

A

Listen over trachea and larynx
High pitched, loud
Expiratory sounds > Inspiratory sounds

29
Q

Normal Bronchovesicular sounds

A

Listen over major bronchi or between scapula
Medium pitch and intensity
Sounds on inspiration equal in length to expiration

30
Q

Normal Vesicular sounds

A

Listen over smaller bronchioles and alveoli
Low pitched and soft
Inspiration > expiration

31
Q

Rales or Crackles

A

Short, popping sounds
Most often heard during inhalation
Can indicate: infection, inflammation, CHF

32
Q

Wheezes

A

high pitched, heard over airways

33
Q

Stridor

A

high pitched wheeze, heard over larynx

33
Q

Stridor

A

high pitched wheeze, heard over larynx

34
Q

Rhonchi

A

low pitched, snoring quality

35
Q

Friction Rub

A

Deep, harsh, grating sound
Inspiration > expiration
Caused by rubbing of visceral and parietal pleura

A

92-100% on room air

40
Q

air pushed out in the 1st second after largest breath

45
Q

Normal FEV1/FVC ratio

A

> 70%
